Wyatt's Ice Creamery sold 50 sundaes last week. There were nuts on 36 of the sundaes. What is the ratio of the number of sundaes with nuts to the total number of sundaes?




To find the ratio of the number of sundaes with nuts to the total number of sundaes, follow these steps:

1. **Number of sundaes with nuts:** 36
2. **Total number of sundaes sold:** 50

The ratio is given by:

\[
\text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Number of sundaes with nuts}}{\text{Total number of sundaes}} = \frac{36}{50}
\]

This ratio can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:

\[
\frac{36}{50} = \frac{36 \div 2}{50 \div 2} = \frac{18}{25}
\]

So, the ratio of sundaes with nuts to the total number of sundaes is **18:25**.
