fractional notation: $\frac{7}{10}$
word notation: 7 to 10
odds notation: 7:10
fractional notation: $\frac{10}{7}$
word notation: 7:10
odds notation: 7 to 10
fractional notation: $\frac{10}{7}$
word notation: 7:10
odds notation: 10:7
fractional notation: $\frac{7}{10}$

Explanation:

Step1: Understand ratio notations

• Word notation for ratio of \(a\) to \(b\) is \(a\) to \(b\).
• Odds notation for ratio of \(a\) to \(b\) is \(a:b\).
• Fractional notation for ratio of \(a\) to \(b\) is \(\frac{a}{b}\).

Step2: Identify \(a\) and \(b\)

Given ratio of Mexican dishes (\(a = 7\)) to Indian dishes (\(b=10\)).

Step3: Apply notations

• Word notation: \(7\) to \(10\)
• Odds notation: \(7:10\)
• Fractional notation: \(\frac{7}{10}\)

Answer:

First option (Word notation: \(7\) to \(10\), Odds notation: \(7:10\), Fractional notation: \(\frac{7}{10}\))
