2 part question. A fruit basket has apples and oranges. For every 4 oranges, there are 5 apples. a. What is the ratio of the number of oranges to the total number of fruit in the basket?

b. what fraction of the fruit in the basket are apples?

4 : 9 ; 5 /9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Basket contains apples and oranges

For every 4 oranges, there are 5 apples

A.)

Ratio of number of oranges to the total number of fruits in the basket :

Oranges = 4

Total = oranges + apple

Total = 4 + 5 = 9

Oranges : Total

4 : 9

B.) Fraction of the fruit in the basket that are apples :

The ratio of apples to the total fruits is :

Apples = 5

Total = 4 + 5 = 9

Hence,

Fraction of apple to total :

5 / 9
