A basket contains 6 peaches and 8 plums. What is the ratio of peaches to total pieces
of fruit? (Lesson 4.2)

How do this

Find total pieces of fruit:

6 + 8 = 14 total pieces of fruit.

The ratio of peaches to total fruit is written as a fraction with the number of peaches over the total number of fruit:

6/14

Both numbers are divisible by 2, so 6/14 gets reduced to 3/7

The answer is 3/7

3:7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to add the number of peaches and plums to get your total amount of fruit, you would get 14 once you add 6 peaches and 8 plums.

Because you have 6 peaches and 14 total pieces your answer would narrow down to 6:14. After you reduce, you get 3:7.

Hope this helps.
