Answer 2

Hi there.

If there are 26 lemon-lime sodas and 52 colas, then that means our ratio is going to be 52:26; however, this is not simplified as both of these are even numbers. To simplify, divide both of these numbers by 26.

26 / 26 = 1
52 / 26 = 2

Our new and simplified ratio of colas to lemon-lime sodas is going to be
2:1.

I hope this helps!
