A situation that can be modeled with the ratio 4:1 is a fruit basket containing apples and oranges, where for every 4 apples, there is 1 orange. If there are a total of 100 fruits in the basket, there would be 80 apples and 20 oranges. This example illustrates how to apply and understand ratios in practical situations.
