It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "RATIOS ARE SWEET!" with a table that asks students to work with ratios based on different sweet food combinations. The goal is to:

1. Write the ratio (from the "What If..." column).
2. Express it in 3 different ways.
3. Find 3 equivalent ratios.
4. Fill in the missing quantity in each scenario.

However, the image doesn't show the actual numbers for the missing quantities (e.g., how many ice cream cones go with 20 slices of pie). But since this is a common type of ratio problem, I’ll solve it assuming the ratios are implied to be equal, and we need to find the missing value so that the ratio between two items makes sense — likely based on typical proportions or clues from the context.

Let’s analyze each row one by one and solve accordingly. Since the missing values aren’t provided, I'll assume these are proportion problems where we need to find the missing number to make a reasonable or consistent ratio.

🔹 Problem 1:

> 20 slices of pie : ___ ice cream cones

Let’s suppose the ratio is 1 slice of pie : 1 ice cream cone — a common pairing at parties.

So:
- 20 slices → 20 ice cream cones

✔ Ratio: 20:20 or 1:1
✔ Three ways to write the ratio:
 - 20:20
 - 20/20
 - 1 to 1
✔ Equivalent ratios:
 - 1:1
 - 2:2
 - 5:5

🔹 Problem 2:

> 12 cupcakes : ___ ice cream cones

Assuming a 1:1 ratio again (each person gets one cupcake and one cone):

- 12 cupcakes → 12 ice cream cones

✔ Ratio: 12:12 or 1:1
✔ Three ways:
 - 12:12
 - 12/12
 - 1 to 1
✔ Equivalent ratios:
 - 1:1
 - 3:3
 - 6:6

🔹 Problem 3:

> ___ donuts : 5 popsicles

Let’s assume a ratio of 2 donuts : 1 popsicle (common in party settings).

Then:
- For 5 popsicles → 5 × 2 = 10 donuts

✔ Ratio: 10:5 or 2:1
✔ Three ways:
 - 10:5
 - 10/5
 - 10 to 5
✔ Equivalent ratios:
 - 2:1
 - 4:2
 - 6:3

🔹 Problem 4:

> 42 strawberries : ___ apples

Strawberries and apples might be paired in a fruit salad. Let's assume a ratio of 7 strawberries : 1 apple (a common proportion in recipes).

Then:
- 42 ÷ 7 = 6 → So 6 apples

✔ Ratio: 42:6 or 7:1
✔ Three ways:
 - 42:6
 - 42/6
 - 42 to 6
✔ Equivalent ratios:
 - 7:1
 - 14:2
 - 21:3

🔹 Problem 5:

> 24 oranges : ___ cherries

Suppose we're making a fruit punch or dessert. A possible ratio could be 3 oranges : 1 cherry (though unusual). But let’s think differently.

Alternatively, maybe it’s a 1:1 ratio? Or perhaps oranges to cherries = 4:1?

But without more context, let’s assume a reasonable balance: say 1 orange : 2 cherries.

Then:
- 24 oranges → 24 × 2 = 48 cherries

✔ Ratio: 24:48 or 1:2
✔ Three ways:
 - 24:48
 - 24/48
 - 24 to 48
✔ Equivalent ratios:
 - 1:2
 - 2:4
 - 3:6

📌 Notes:

- These solutions assume reasonable real-world ratios since no specific instructions were given.
- You can adjust the ratios if there’s a particular pattern or theme (like all being 1:1 or using fractions).
- The key idea is to use proportional reasoning to fill in missing values and then express ratios in multiple forms.
