Step 1: Find the ratio

Since you want to find the ratio of root beer to Pepsi, you need to have the root beer first then the colon and then the Pepsi amount.

Root Beer : Pepsi

20 : 24

Step 2: Simplify

20/4 : 24/4

Answer:

There are 24 cans of Pepsi, and 20 cans of Root Beer.

Note that the ratio states Root Beer first, then Pepsi. Set the ratio:

Root Beer: Pepsi = 20:24

20:24 is your unsimplified answer.

Most likely they will be asking you to simplify. Divide common factors from both numbers:

(20:24)/(4/4) = 5:6

5:6 is your simplified answer.
