The ratio of apples to oranges is 5 : 3. there are 21 oranges in the bowl. how many apples are in bowl?

35 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

21/3 = 7

5 * 7 = 35

5 * 7 : 3 * 7

35 : 21

35 Apples

35:21

Step-by-step explanation:

21 Oranges divided by 3=7

7 Oranges X 5 Apples=35

if there's 3 oranges per 5 apples

you would do 21/3=7

no since there's 5 for every 3

you would multiply 5 by the number you got after diving by 3

then multiply that answer by 5

because you divided it by 3 to make it "to scale" so now you have to re-multiply it by 5
