  1. The ratio of apple over orange = 3:2

The total number of fruits are 60 pieces.
Now, find the total number of apples and total number of oranges.
=> first, let’s add 2 + 3 = 5
Thus, we have 5 division for 60 pieces fruits,
=> 60 / 5
=> 12
let’s solve for the apple
=> 12 x 3 = 36
Now. The orange
=> 12 * 2 = 24
=> 36 + 24 = 60
Thus the ratio is 36 : 24

Answer

36 apples and 24 oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

this is just an equation problem..

3x+2x=60

5x=60

x=12

so now we just multiply by the ration of each fruit.

apples:36

oranges:24
