The old machines ratio would be 45:30 and the new ratio would be 120:60, but since 120 is how many cookies the machine can cut in an hour, the machine can cut 60 cookies in half an hour (30 min) therefore, the comparison would be 43:60 (Old Machine cookie cutting rate to new machine cookie cutting rate. I hope I helped
