It depend upon how many Oranges there are, which gives the total number of pieces of fruit in the bowl.
Let the number of oranges be x, then the total number of fruit is 12 + 13 + x = x +25
Thus the fraction of the fruit that is oranges is number_of_oranges/total_number_of_fruit = x/(x+25)
If you do not know the number of oranges x, but do know the total number of fruit in the bowl (call it t), then the number of oranges = t - (12 + 23) = t - 25, giving the fraction of oranges as (t-25)/t.
The above formulae give a general form of the fraction of the fruit that are oranges; if you know the number of oranges, or the total number of fruit, you can substitute for x or t in the above formulae to get the fraction for the quantity you have as you have not told us them.

If you have 3 boxes of fruit apples oranges and both They all have labels that are not right You pick 1 fruit from 1 box How can you label the boxes correctly?
You would choose to draw from the box labeled "Apples and Oranges"...Whatever fruit you draw is the fruit from that box. (you know this is the case because the boxes are mislabeled) You then proceed to relabel the box with "Apples" if that is what you drew. Then you relabel the original "Apples" box to "Oranges" and the original "Oranges" box to "Apples and Oranges".

A box of fruit has 4 more apples than oranges. together there are 52 pieces of fruit. how many of each type of fruit are there?
There will be 28 apples and 24 oranges; 52 - 4 = 48 ← this is now double the number of the fewer fruit 48 / 2 = 24 ← the number of the fewer fruit 24 + 4 = 28 ← the number of the fruit of which there are more 28 + 24 = 52 ← a check of the answer.
