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 first note that Francis is using 20 olives (from 1 can) and 25 pepperonis (from 1 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 can also be simplified:

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

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