Answer 2

The ratio of the calories in an orange to the calories in the cookie is
`(7)/(26)` .

Explanation:

As given

One cookie has 130 calories.

An orange has 35 calories.

Thus

`(Calories\ of\ orange)/(Calories\ of\ cookie) = (35)/(130)`

Simplify the above

`(Calories\ of\ orange)/(Calories\ of\ cookie) = (7)/(26)`

Therefore the ratio of the calories in an orange to the calories in the cookie is
`(7)/(26)` .
