Answer:

Explanation:

It would equal to 40 because 17+23 would equal 40 its because the number of apples you divided it by 4 which equals 17.5 but you don't add .5 so 17 then you get 23 from 70 divided by 3 so

40 is the answer.

Answer: 30 oranges

Explanation:

For each "repeat" of the ratio, we will find the total number of apples and oranges.

4 + 3 = 7

Next, we will find how many times this ratio repeats in the total.

70 / 7 = 10 times

Lastly, we can multiply the ratio of oranges by 10 to find out how many oranges are in the bag (this applies to apples, too):

3 * 10 = 30
