Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]a : b = 14 : 29[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

[tex]Vanilla = 58[/tex]

[tex]Chocolate = 28[/tex]

Required

Represent as ratio

Let chocolate be represented with a and vanilla be represented with b

So, we have:

[tex]a : b[/tex]

[tex]a : b = 28 : 58[/tex]

Divide ratio by 2

[tex]a : b = 14 : 29[/tex]

Hence, the required ratio is [tex]14:29[/tex]
