Answer:

$2 ; $10 or $1 ; $5

Explanation:

Since the hat is 4 times more, you would do inverse operations, 8/4 which is 2. It wants the ratio of the cost of gloves to the total cost of the items and to find the total cost, you would add 2 and 8 since the hat is $8 and the gloves are $2/ If you were to simplify it, you would get 1;5.
