When six guests choose cheesecake and eight choose apple pie, the ratio is 6:8. If we use the same prompt but change 6 to 3 and change 8 to 4, the ratio becomes 3:4 with the pie graph looking exactly the same.
6:8 comes out to a total of 14 people
and 3:4 comes out to a total of 7 people
The two ratios are equivalent due to the graphs looking exactly the same as well as that 14 is double of 7.
