Answer 2

Given condition: A grocery store display has 60 oranges and 18 apples.

Then,

Number of oranges = 60 and

Number of apples = 18.

Then, we use ratios to make comparisons between two things.

When we express a ratios in words we use the word ''to'' then we say that the ratio of something to something else.

Ratio of oranges to apples =
`(Number of oranges)/(Number of apples)`

then,

Ratio of oranges to apples =
`(60)/(18)`

Divide numerator and denominator by 6, we get

Ratio of oranges to apples =
`(10)/(3)` which is in the simplest fractional form.
