4.5:4.75

Step-by-step explanation:

What you had to do was times them. So you times 2 by 2.25 because that is how much a corn dog cost and Sam bought 2. And you times 5 by. 95 because that is how much a caramel apple cost and Sam bought 5. The 2 corndogs cost $4.50 and the caramel apples cost $4.75. You then put it into a ratio based off total cost of corn dogs to caramel apples and it is 4.5:4.75.
