Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:
Total utensils = 66
Spoons = 22
Forks = 66 - 22 = 44
The ratio of spoons to the total utensil is given by the ratio of spoons to total utensils. We have:
22:66 ⇒ 1:3
Therefore, the ratio of spoons to total utensils is 1 spoon is to 3 utensils
The ratio of the number of forks to spoon is given by the ratio of forks to spoon. We have:
44:22 ⇒ 2:1
Therefore, the ratio of forks to spoon is 2 to 1. For every 2 forks, there is 1 spoon
