1.    5 : 9
2.    4 : 9
3.    4 : 5
4.    5: 4
Those are the possible ratios to the questions given in the sentences. Ratios are comparing two numbers regardless of unit compared to rate. Hence, in this case, take note of the ratio 5 out of 9 prefer the new crunchy version than of the regular version. Moreover, each of the sentences compare either in between the product or as a whole. For instance in number 1 and 2 compares a certain version of the product to the total population while 3 and 4 compares the two product themselves as to why the answers are stated above.
