To find out which pack has a greater ratio of bacon treats to peanut butter treats, we can calculate the ratio for each pack.
-
For Canine Crisps:
- Number of bacon treats = 15
- Number of peanut butter treats = 20
- Ratio = \( \frac{15}{20} = \frac{3}{4} \)
-
For BowWow Bumpers:
- Number of bacon treats = 18
- Number of peanut butter treats = 25
- Ratio = \( \frac{18}{25} \)
Now we can compare the two ratios:
- Canine Crisps has a ratio of \( \frac{3}{4} \).
- BowWow Bumpers has a ratio of \( \frac{18}{25} \).
To compare \( \frac{3}{4} \) and \( \frac{18}{25} \), we can convert them to a common denominator or cross-multiply.
Cross-multiplying:
- \( 3 \times 25 = 75 \)
- \( 18 \times 4 = 72 \)
Since \( 75 > 72 \), we can conclude that:
\[ \frac{3}{4} > \frac{18}{25} \]
Thus, the pack with the greater ratio of bacon treats to peanut butter treats is:
A. A pack of Canine Crisps has a greater ratio.
