Question

Francis is making a pizza. She plans to use 1 can of olives and 1 package of pepperoni. Assuming there are 20 olives in the can and 25 pepperonis in a package, write a ratio to represent the quantity of olives to pepperonis.(1 point)

Answer 1

To represent the quantity of olives to pepperonis, we can use the numbers provided: Francis will use 20 olives from the can and 25 pepperonis from the package.

The ratio of olives to pepperonis can be written as:

$$\text{Ratio}=\frac{\text{Number of olives}}{\text{Number of pepperonis}}=\frac{20}{25}$$

This ratio can be simplified by dividing both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is 5:

$$\frac{20÷5}{25÷5}=\frac{4}{5}$$

Therefore, the ratio of olives to pepperonis is 4:5.
