Answer: 56 oranges
Step-by-step explanation:
In a sample of 25 oranges, 2 oranges weigh 5 ounces.
Proportionally represented, that would be:
= 2 / 25
Assuming the 25 is representative for all 700 oranges, the number of oranges that can be expected to weigh 5 ounces from the shipment is:
= Proportion of 5 ounces oranges from sample * Total number of oranges
= 2/25 * 700
= 56 oranges
