Answer:

[tex]Cranberry:Apple:Orange = 7:5:8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Apple = 1/4[/tex]

[tex]Orange = 2/5[/tex]

Required

Determine the ratio of Cranberry to Apple to Orange

First, we calculate the fraction of Cranberry using:

[tex]Cranberry + Apple + Orange = 1[/tex]

Substitute values for Apple and Orange

[tex]Cranberry + 1/4+ 2/5= 1[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]Cranberry = 1- 1/4- 2/5[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]Cranberry = \frac{20 - 5 - 8}{20}[/tex]

[tex]Cranberry = \frac{7}{20}[/tex]

The ratio is then represented as:

[tex]Cranberry:Apple:Orange = 7/20:1/4:2/5[/tex]

Multiply through by 20

[tex]Cranberry:Apple:Orange = 20(7/20:1/4:2/5)[/tex]

[tex]Cranberry:Apple:Orange = 20*7/20:20*1/4:20*2/5[/tex]

[tex]Cranberry:Apple:Orange = 7:5:8[/tex]
