Question

Regan's Ice Cream Shop sold 1 sundae with nuts and 40 sundaes without nuts. What is the ratio of the number of sundaes without nuts to the number of sundaes with nuts?

Answer 1

To find the ratio of the number of sundaes without nuts to the number of sundaes with nuts, we first note the quantities given:

- Number of sundaes with nuts = 1
- Number of sundaes without nuts = 40

The ratio is calculated as follows:

\[
\text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Number of sundaes without nuts}}{\text{Number of sundaes with nuts}} = \frac{40}{1}
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
40:1
\]

Therefore, the ratio of the number of sundaes without nuts to the number of sundaes with nuts is:

\[
\boxed{40:1}
\]
