Question

There are 32 oranges and 40 mangoes in a fruit stall. Find the ratio of number of mangoes to the total number of fruits.

Answer 1

Number of oranges = 32
Number of mangoes = 40
Total number of fruits = 32 + 40 = 72
Required ratio = $\frac{Numberofmangoes}{Totalnumberoffruits}$ = $\frac{40}{72}$= $\frac{5}{9}$
Hence , required ratio = 5 : 9
