Answer 1

To determine the ratio of the vanilla cupcakes to the total number of cupcakes that Amanda bakes, we first calculate the total number of cupcakes:

- Chocolate cupcakes: 14
- Vanilla cupcakes: 18
- Strawberry cupcakes: 6

Total cupcakes = 14 + 18 + 6 = 38

Now, the ratio of the vanilla cupcakes (18) to the total number of cupcakes (38) is:

\[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{18}{38} \]

This can be expressed as:

**18:38**

Therefore, the correct answer is **18:38**.
