Question

At Pruitt’s farm, the ratio of oranges to apples is 4 to 8. A total of 96 apples and oranges are grown on his farm. Find the number of oranges grown.

A. 64
B. 32
C.12
D. 16

Answer 1

32 (B)

Explanation:

Because there is a total of 96 apples and oranges, you would divide 96 by 12 because 4 + 8 = 12. 96/12 is 8, so we know that each part (1 part of the ratio) would be 8. Since we are finding the number of oranges, you would multiply 4 x 8 which is 32. (B)
