Let's begin by identifying key information given to us:
Numbers of apples = 35
Number of oranges = 30
Total number of fruits = 65
The ratio of apples to oranges is given by:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 35\colon30 \\ \text{Divide through both sides by the common factor ''5''. We have:} \\ \frac{35}{5}\colon\frac{30}{5}\Rightarrow7\colon6 \\ =7\colon6 \end{gathered}[/tex]
