Abasket contains 3/8 as many oranges as apples and three over four as many oranges as pairs what is the ratio of the number of oranges to the total number of fruits in the basket

# of apples

3/8(a)=# of oranges

p=# of pears

3/4(p)=# of oranges

(3/8)a=(3/4)p

(3/8)/(3/4)=p/a

(3/8)(6/8)=p/a

3/6=p/a

1/2=p/a

the ratios of pears to apples is 1 to 2

for every 1 pear there are 2 apples

if there are 4 pears there are 8 apples

there are 8 apples

(3/8)(8)=3 oranges

there are 4 pears

(3/4)(4)=3 oranges again

8 apples, 3 oranges, 4 pears

15 pieces of fruit and 3 are oranges

ratio is 3/15=1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, we know that volume = LxWxH

because this is a cube we know that L=W=H because all the sides are the same.

Now we set up the equation

We can simplify by saying

or we can put it in a calculator and get

1.320006...

to the nearest tenth
