If apples to oranges is 3:5, what is the ratio of oranges to apples?

5:3 3:5 4:5 3:4

Correct Answer:

5:3

Explanation:

When a ratio is given as apples to oranges 3:5, it means for every 3 parts of apples there are 5 parts of oranges. To get the ratio of oranges to apples, swap the order: oranges to apples becomes 5:3. So the correct result is 5:3, which is simply the original ratio inverted. The other numbers don’t reflect this reversed order.
