Answer 1

- We are told that a bowl has 10 oranges and 5 apples. We are asked to find the ratio of apples to the total number of fruits in the bowl.

- The total number of fruits in the bowl is:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Total fruits = Number of Apples + Number of Oranges} \\ \text{Total fruits = 10 + 5 = 15} \end{gathered}`

- The ratio of apples to the total number of fruits is given by:

`\frac{\text{Number of apples}}{\text{Total number of apples}}=(5)/(15)=(1)/(3)\approx0.3\text{ (To the tenth place)}`

Final Answer

The answer is 0.3
