Answer 1

Solution

- We are told that a bowl has 10 oranges and 5 apples. We are asked to find the ratio of apples to the total number of fruits in the bowl.

- The total number of fruits in the bowl is:

$\begin{gathered} \text{Total fruits = Number of Apples + Number of Oranges} \\ \text{Total fruits = 10 + 5 = 15} \end{gathered}$

- The ratio of apples to the total number of fruits is given by:

$\frac{\text{Number of apples}}{\text{Total number of apples}}=\frac{5}{15}=\frac{1}{3}\approx0.3\text{ (To the tenth place)}$

Final Answer

The answer is 0.3
