Maria is making snacks for a party. She thinks more people will eat sandwiches than chicken wings. She decides to make 40 sandwiches and 25 chicken wings. What is the ratio of sandwiches to chicken wings?
The ratio of sandwiches to chicken wings is 40/25 or 8/5.
To find the ratio of sandwiches to chicken wings, divide the number of sandwiches by the number of chicken wings.
Ratio = Number of Sandiwches / Number of Chicken Wings
Ratio = 40 sandwiches / 25 chicken wings
Ratio = 8/5 or 1.6
To find the ratio of sandwiches to chicken wings, we need to divide the number of sandwiches by the number of chicken wings.
The number of sandwiches is 40 and the number of chicken wings is 25.
So, the ratio of sandwiches to chicken wings is 40/25.
To simplify this ratio, we can divide both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is 5.
40 divided by 5 is 8, and 25 divided by 5 is 5.
Therefore, the simplified ratio of sandwiches to chicken wings is 8:5.
