To find the ratio, we need to set up a proportion with the known ratio of 37 heads of lettuce for 100 guests and solve for x.
37/100 = x/275
Cross-multiplying, we get:
100x = 37 * 275
Dividing both sides by 100, we get:
x = (37 * 275) / 100
Simplifying, we get:
x = 101.75
Therefore, the ratio that illustrates how many heads of lettuce Timothy would need to feed 275 guests is approximately 101.75 to 275.
