Answer 2

Ratio of the number of chickens to apples = 0.625

Explanation:

The farmer observes that 5 chickens eat 8 apples.

Number of chickens = 5

Number of apples eaten = 8

We need to find the ratio of the number of chickens to apples.

`\frac{\texttt{Number of chickens}}{\texttt{Number of apples eaten}}=(5)/(8)\\\\\frac{\texttt{Number of chickens}}{\texttt{Number of apples eaten}}=0.625`

Ratio of the number of chickens to apples = 0.625
