Answer 1

Answer:

4 grilled cheese: 9 total lunches

Step-by-step explanation:

Grilled cheese (gc): 200

Total: 200+100+150=450

Ratio: 200 gc: 450 total

SIMPLIFY:

gc: 200/50=4

Total: 450/50=9

ANSWER:

4 gc: 9 Total

Answer 2

Answer:

5:9

Step-by-step explanation:

If the cafeteria sold 200 grilled cheese sandwiches, 100 tacos, and 150 grilled chicken salads, the total number of lunches sold will be 200+100+150 = 450

Grilled chicken salad sold = 150

The ratio of grilled chicken salads sold to the total number of lunches sold will be;

150/450

In its simplest form,

150/450 = 15/45

= 5/9

The ratio is therefore 5:9

Note that ratio means 'division'
