The unsimplified fraction is 8/12 which can be reduced to 2/3
let x represent the number of apples and y represent the number of oranges.
TOTAL: x + y = 112
y = 112 - x
PEELED: 

3x = 4y
3x = 4(112 - x)
3x = 448 - 4x
7x = 448
x = 64
y = 112 - x
= 112 - 64
= 48
a) There are 64 apples and 48 oranges
Peeled apples:
= 3(8) = 24
Unpeeled apples: 64 - 24 = 40
Unpeeled - Peeled: 40 - 24 - 16
b) there are 16 more unpeeled apples than peeled apples
You would write it as 17/3 because you times 3 by 5 and get 15 and then you add the 2 to get 17 and you leave the 3 underneath the 17 so you final answer is 17/3 and that is a improper fraction
