Question

Sam bought 6 bananas and 14 apples. The ratio of bananas to apples is .

• A. 3:7
• B. 1:8
• C. 2:6
• D. 4:5

Answer 1

The correct option is A 3:7

Number of bananas = $6$

Number of apples = $14$

Ratio of bananas to apples = $6:14$

If we observe the numbers carefully, both $6$ and $14$ are divisible by $2$.
So, divide the ratio to the lowest form.

$\frac{6}{14}=\frac{3}{7}$

Hence, ratio of bananas to apples = $3:7$.
