Question

whats the ratio of the number of customers interested in buying oatmeal raisin cookies to the number of customers surveyed? record the ratio in the simplest form.
\\( \frac { 16 } { 25 } \\)
\\( \frac { 25 } { 16 } \\)
\\( \frac { 125 } { 16 } \\)
\\( \frac { 80 } { 25 } \\)

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the ratio components

Let's assume from common problem - setups (since the image only shows options and not raw data, but based on the fraction \(\frac{16}{25}\) which is a simplified ratio). The ratio of the number of customers interested in oatmeal raisin cookies to the number of customers surveyed is \(\frac{\text{Interested}}{\text{Surveyed}}\).

Step2: Simplify if needed

If the original ratio was \(\frac{16}{25}\), and since \(16 = 2^4\) and \(25=5^2\) with no common factors other than \(1\), it is already in simplest form.

Answer:

A. \(\frac{16}{25}\)
