Explanation:

First Problem (Crayon Ratio)

Step1: Identify red and total crayons

Red crayons = 5, Total crayons = 20

Step2: Simplify the ratio

$\frac{5}{20} = \frac{1}{4}$, so ratio is $1:4$

Step1: Find Rita's age

May's age = 22, Rita's age = $22 + 5 = 27$

Step2: Find Candye's age

Candye's age = $27 - 7 = 20$

Step3: Calculate age difference

May's age - Candye's age = $22 - 20 = 2$

Answer:

1. 1:4
