I see. But if this question is like “a papaya is 2^2^3 as heavy as an orange”, then 8:3 seems correct.

But this question is like “a papaya is 2^2^3 heavier than an orange”

May be you can change fraction to whole number.

A papaya is 3 times heavier than an orange, your ratio will be 3:1

A papaya is 2 times heavier than an orange, your ratio will be 2:1

A papaya is 2½ times heavier than an orange, your ratio will be 2½:1
