3:1

9:2

9:4

4:2

Answer 1

okay so there are 45 cheese pizzas and 20 pepperoni pizzas
they are asking for the ratio of cheese pizzas to pepperoni pizzas
that would be 45:20
now this needs to be simplified, so divide both numbers by a common factor, which would be 5 in this case...45/5=9 and 20/5=4
so the ratio would be 9:4
