to find the ratio of cans of tomato sauce to crushed tomatoes, you just need to put the numbers of each together and put the word β€œto” in between the numbers or just add a colon (:). the number of cans of tomato sauce is 53, and the number of crushed tomatoes is 16, so the ratio is 53:16. The same goes for the next question. The number of crushed tomatoes is 16 cans, and the number of tomato paste is 24 cans. Since the ratio is the two numbers compared, the ratio is 16:24. Hope this helped!
