Answer:

Given condition: A grocery store display has 60 oranges and 18 apples.

Then,

Number of oranges = 60 and

Number of apples = 18.

Then, we use ratios to make comparisons between two things.

When we express a ratios in words we use the word ''to'' then we say that the ratio of something to something else.

Ratio of oranges to apples = [tex]\frac{Number of oranges}{Number of apples}[/tex]

then,

Ratio of oranges to apples =[tex]\frac{60}{18}[/tex]

Divide numerator and denominator by 6, we get

Ratio of oranges to apples =[tex]\frac{10}{3}[/tex] which is in the simplest fractional form.
