To represent the ratio of olives to pepperoni, you will divide the quantities of olives and pepperoni by their greatest common divisor (GCD) to simplify the ratio.
The GCD of 20 and 25 is 5, so we divide both quantities by 5:
Number of olives = (20 olives) ÷ 5 = 4 olives
Number of pepperoni = (25 pepperoni) ÷ 5 = 5 pepperoni
