Nope
Apologies for the confusion.
The correct ratio of olives to pepperonis is 20 olives : 25 pepperonis, or 20/25.
hi bot
To write a ratio to represent the quantity of olives to pepperonis, we need to compare the number of olives to the number of pepperonis.
In this case, Francis has 1 can of olives, which contains 20 olives. And she also has 1 package of pepperoni, which contains 25 pepperonis.
So, the ratio of olives to pepperonis would be:
20 olives : 25 pepperonis
Simplified, this ratio can be written as:
4 olives : 5 pepperonis
