Solution

To solve this problem, you need to understand that the ratio of apples to oranges is 3:5. This means that for every 3 apples, there are 5 oranges.

Step 1: Add the two parts of the ratio together. 3 (for apples) + 5 (for oranges) = 8.

Step 2: Divide the total number of fruits by the sum of the ratio. 64 (total fruits) ÷ 8 = 8. This is the value of one part of the ratio.

Step 3: Multiply the value of one part of the ratio by the number of parts for oranges. 8 (value of one part) x 5 (number of parts for oranges) = 40.

So, there are 40 oranges in the basket.
