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 present the quantity of ovules to pepperonis

Answer 1

To present the ratio of olives to pepperonis, we start with the quantities: there are 20 olives in the can and 25 pepperonis in the package.

The ratio of olives to pepperonis can be expressed as:

\[ \text{Ratio of olives to pepperonis} = \frac{\text{Number of olives}}{\text{Number of pepperonis}} = \frac{20}{25} \]

This fraction can be simplified. Both numbers can be divided by 5:

\[ \frac{20 \div 5}{25 \div 5} = \frac{4}{5} \]

Thus, the ratio of olives to pepperonis is:

\[ \text{Ratio of olives to pepperonis} = 4:5 \]
