Who is correct? I REALLY need an explanation.

Answer 1

they are all correct

Explanation:

a ratio is a comparison saying that for every group of numbers that there will be another group of numbers for example

the ratio of apples to bananas is

number of apples->5:6<- number of bananas

so of the ratio stays the same then for every 5 apples added to the basket then 6 bananas will also be added(works other way to)

Answer 2

Explanation:

all of them are correct

there are 5 apples and 6 bananas

there are 6 bananas and 5 apples

5 apples plus 6 bananas=11

8 oranges+5 apples+6 bananas=19

so the ratio is 11:19
