Eliza is a chef at a restaurant. she is making spaghetti sauce and put 21 tomatoes and 6 onions in the pot. what is the ratio of tomatoes to onions in the pot?

These are not hard ... u just have to pay very close attention to the wording. Keep in mind ratios can be written as fractions too.

ratio of tomatoes to onions = 21:6 which reduces to 7:2 ... because there is 21 tomatoes and 6 onions. (21/6 reduces to 7/2 ... ratios written as fractions)

However, if it would have asked the ratio of onions to tomatoes, it would have been 6:21 ... which reduces to 2:7 ... so pay attention to the wording on problems such as these

so ur answer is 7:2
