A group of friends went out for dinner. 19 of the diners ordered

vegetarian food and 14 ordered non-vegetarian food. What is the ratio of the
number of vegetarian meals to the number of non-vegetarian meals?

19 to 14

To find the ratio of the number of vegetarian meals to the number of non-vegetarian meals, you need to divide the number of vegetarian meals by the number of non-vegetarian meals.

In this case, there were 19 vegetarian meals ordered and 14 non-vegetarian meals ordered. So, the ratio of vegetarian meals to non-vegetarian meals is:

19 vegetarian meals / 14 non-vegetarian meals

However, it is usually best to simplify the ratio if possible. To simplify the ratio, you can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of both numbers and divide both the numerator and the denominator by it.

In this case, the GCD of 19 and 14 is 1, so dividing both the numerator and denominator by it doesn't change the ratio. Therefore, the simplified ratio is:

19 vegetarian meals : 14 non-vegetarian meals
