Given:
blue 10
green 10
red 6
orange 16
yellow 8
purple 17
We need to find the following ratios :
1) Red and green to orange
So, the sum of red and green = 6 + 10 = 16
So, the ratio will be using the colon:
2) Green and blue to the total fruit
The sum of the green and blue = 10 + 10 = 20
The sum of all the fruits = 10 + 10 + 6 + 16 + 8 + 17 = 67
so, the ration between green and blue to the total fruit= 20 to 67
3) Total to red and orange
The sum of red and orange = 6 + 16 = 22
So, the ratio using the fractions = 67/22
