write your answer as two numbers separated by a colon (for example, 2:3).

Explanation:

Step1: Find number of thick - crust pizzas

Total pizzas = 79, thin - crust pizzas = 62. So thick - crust pizzas = 79 - 62 = 17.

Step2: Find the ratio of thin - crust to thick - crust

Ratio of thin - crust to thick - crust = 62:17.

Answer:

62:17
