Mini Sweets Bakery gives customers 2 free cupcakes for every 20 cupcakes they purchase. Their competitor, Yummy Bites Bakery, gives customers 3 free cupcakes for every 25 purchased cupcakes. Do the two bakeries offer the same ratio of free cupcakes to purchased cupcakes?

2:20 as 3:25

Ratios can be written as fractions

2/20 : 3/25

Cross multiply

20x3:25x2

60:50

The two bakeries do NOT offer the same ratio of free cupcakes to purchased cupcakes
