Answer:
B. 35.
Step-by-step explanation:
there are only two types of fruits in the basket....... that is, apples and oranges.
the ratio is 2:5
a : o
2 : 5.
there are 10 apples and in the ratio, 2 represents the number of apples.
so, 2a = 10.
to get the total number of fruits, we add the numbers in the ratio. so. 2 + 5 = 7
if 2 represents 10.
what will 7 represent?
2x = 10
7x = ??
cross multiply
7 × 10 ÷ 2 = 35 fruits.
