Answer:

5 : 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of gumdrops = 420

Number of chocolate bars = 280

Total Number of candies = 700

To find:

The ratio of candies to chocolate bars = ?

Solution:

First of all, let us discuss the method to find the ratio of any two quantities.

Suppose, we need to find the ratio of two numbers p and q.

Then to find the ratio p:q , we need to divide p by q and represent it in the simplest form \frac{a}{b} such that a and b can not be divided further.

Here, to find the ratio of candies to chocolate bar:

Ratio = \dfrac{\text{Number of candies}}{\text{Number of chocolate bars}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{700}{280}

Here, we can simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 10 first:

\dfrac{70}{28}

Now, let us divide the numerator and denominator by 14:

\dfrac{5}{2}

So, the ratio is <em>5 : 2</em>
