Answer 1

To find the ratio of the number of orders for pepperoni pizza to cheese pizza, we look at the numbers given:

• Pepperoni Pizza: 8 orders
• Cheese Pizza: 10 orders

The ratio is therefore \( \frac{8}{10} \).

To simplify this ratio, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:

\[ \frac{8 \div 2}{10 \div 2} = \frac{4}{5} \]

Thus, the ratio of the number of orders for pepperoni pizza to cheese pizza is:

4:5.
