Answer:
25 apples are in the box
Step-by-step explanation:
You should set up a proportion to compare apples to oranges based on the given ratio and the ratio that you want to find:
5 apples/3oranges
=
x apples/15 oranges
The left side shows the proportion of apples to oranges that you've given me, and the right side shows the number of apples that we want to find over the new quantity of oranges.
You can solve this one of two way: cross multiplication or division then multiplication.
