Answer: 9 : 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Number of chocolate chip cookies = 18
Number of oatmeal cookies = 20
We know that the ratio of A to B can be written as [tex]\dfrac{A}{B}[/tex].
Then, the ratio of chocolate chip cookies to oatmeal cookies will be written as
[tex]\dfrac{\text{Number of chocolate chip cookies }}{\text{Number of oatmeal cookies}}[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{18}{20}[/tex]
Since , 18 and 20 are multiple of 2 , so divide numerator and denominator by 2 , we get
[tex]=\dfrac{9}{10}[/tex] , which is in the simplest form.
Hence, the ratio of chocolate chip cookies to oatmeal cookies in the simplest form = 9 : 10.
