A labelled tape diagram for the ratio of peppermints to chocolates is shown in the picture attached below.

In Mathematics and Geometry, a ratio is a mathematical expression that's used to denote the proportion of two (2) or more quantities with respect to one another and the total quantities.

Let the variable P represent the number of peppermints.

Let the variable C represent the number of chocolates.

Based on the information provided above, we have the following ratio parameters:

Number of peppermints, P = 3 peppermints.

Number of chocolates, C = 5 chocolates.

Total number of candy jar = 3 + 5

Total number of candy jar = 8 candy jars.

Therefore, the ratio of peppermints to chocolates can be written as follows;

Ratio = P : C

Ratio = 3 : 5.
