Question

there are 14 apples and 26 oranges in a picnic basket. what fraction and percentage of the fruit in the basket is oranges?
enter the correct answers in the boxes.
\\(\frac{square}{square}\\) = \\(square\\) %

Explanation:

Step1: Find total number of fruits

Total fruits = Apples + Oranges = \( 14 + 26 = 40 \)

Step2: Find fraction of oranges

Fraction of oranges = \( \frac{\text{Number of oranges}}{\text{Total number of fruits}} = \frac{26}{40} \), simplify it by dividing numerator and denominator by 2, we get \( \frac{13}{20} \)

Step3: Find percentage of oranges

Percentage = \( \frac{13}{20} \times 100 = 65\% \)

Answer:

\(\frac{13}{20} = 65\%\)
