Answer:

5:9

Explanation:

If the Creamery sold 56 total sundaes and 36 of those had nuts, then 56 - 36 = 20 that did not have nuts. The question asks for the ratio of the number of sundaes without nuts to the number of sundaes with nuts:


(nonuts)/(nuts)=(20)/(36)=(5)/(9)

So, the final ratio is 5:9!
