I REALLY need help yall. If you answer pls give an explanation, thanks :)

Answer 1

45 donut stickers

Explanation:

The ratio of donuts to ice cream stickers is 9:3. You can add up the numbers: 9+3=12. You then divide 60 by 12 to find what a ratio of 1 equals to. 60/12=5. Since the ration of donuts is 9, you multiply 9 by 5 which equals to 45.
