Question

In a bag of apples and oranges, the ratio of apples to oranges is 4:3. If the bag contains 70 apples and oranges, how many oranges are there?

A.30
B.40
C.35
D.25

Answer 1

Answer: None of the above

Step-by-step explanation: It's none because we need to divide the 70 apples by the 4 in the sample ratio. That's 17.5. Now, we need to multiply 3 by that. So, 17.5 * 3 = 52.5. That's equal to about 53 oranges. But, as we see that is not an answer choice. So, I believe it's none of the above.

4:3 = 53:70 (about 53)
