Answer:

16 oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of oranges to apples is 4:3 which means that for every four oranges, there are 3 apples.

Since there are 12 apples in the basket, to find the number of oranges, set up a ratio.

4/3 = x/12 (x represents the number of oranges)

Cross multiply.

48 = 3x

Divide by 3.

x = 16

There are 16 oranges in the basket.

Hope that helps.
