Francis is making a pizza she plans to use one can of Olive and one package of pepperoni assuming there are 20 olives in the can and 25 pepperonis in a package write a ratio to represent the quantity of Olives to pepperonis

Answer 1

To represent the ratio of olives to pepperonis, you can compare the quantity of each ingredient.

Francis has:

• 20 olives in the can
• 25 pepperonis in the package

The ratio of olives to pepperonis can be written as:

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

This ratio can be simplified by dividing both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is 5:

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

Thus, the ratio of olives to pepperonis is 4:5.
