Question

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 represent the quantity of olives to pepperonis.(1 point)

Answer 1

To represent the quantity of olives to pepperonis, we need to find the number of olives and the number of pepperonis that Francis is using.

Francis is using:

• 20 olives (from 1 can)
• 25 pepperonis (from 1 package)

The ratio of olives to pepperonis can be expressed as:

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

To simplify this ratio, we can divide both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is 5:

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

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