The ratio of meal costs to entertainment costs can be calculated by dividing the percentage allocated to meal costs by the percentage allocated to entertainment costs.

Meal costs / Entertainment costs = 58% / 22%

Simplifying the ratio, we have:

Meal costs / Entertainment costs = 2.6363636...

Rounded to the nearest whole number, the ratio of meal costs to entertainment costs is approximately:

Meal costs / Entertainment costs = 3:1
29/11
The simplified ratio of meal costs to entertainment costs is 29:11.
