To find the ratio of apples to oranges, you need to divide the weight of the apples by the weight of the oranges.
In this case, the fruit stand has 40 pounds of apples and 5 pounds of oranges. Therefore, the ratio of apples to oranges can be calculated as 40/5.
Simplifying this ratio, we divide both the numerator and denominator by 5: (40/5) / (5/5) = 8/1.
So, the correct answer is A. 8/1, meaning that for every 8 pounds of apples, there is 1 pound of oranges.
