Answer: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

For every 1 sundae, the shop uses 4 spoonfuls of sprinkles. The ratio of sundaes to spoonfuls of sprinkles is 1:4.

The shop used 32 spoonfuls of sprinkles.

Since the number of spoonfuls of sprinkles was multiplied by 8, we also need to multiply the number of sundaes by 8.

The shop made 8 sundaes.
