Question

A donut shop made 32 donuts with frosting and 18 donuts without frosting. What is the ratio of the number of donuts with frosting to the number of donuts without frosting?

Answer 1

16 to 19

Explanation:

Answer 2

16 to 9

Explanation:

Represent donut with frosting with D1 and donut without frosting with D2.

So, we have:

`D_1 = 32`

`D_2 = 18`

Required

Find the ratio of D1 to D2

This is calculated as:

`D_1 : D_2`

Substitute values for D1 and D2

`D_1 : D_2 = 32 : 18`

Divide by 2

`D_1 : D_2 = 32/2 : 18/2`

`D_1 : D_2 = 16 : 9`

The ratio of donuts with frosting to donuts without is 16 to 9
