Question

There are 9 apples and 24 plums in a fruit bowl. What is the ratio of plums to apples?

Answer 1

24:9 or 24 to 9 or
`(24)/(9)`

Explanation:

The amount of plums is 24. The amount of apples is 9. So to write the ratio of plums (24) to apples (9), you write 24 to 9. You can either write a colon - 24:9 - a to - 24 to 9 - or as a fraction -
`(24)/(9)`. But, you have to write it with plums first.

Hope it helps!
