PLZ HELP ME UNDERSTAND MY OTHER QUESTIONS SIMILAR TO THIS ONE BETTER!

there are 12 ducks and 15 geese swimming in a pond. what is the ratio of geese to total birds at the pond?

(A) 12:27
(B) 27:12
(C) 15:27
(D) 27:15

Answer 1

The answer would be C. 15:27. This is because there are 15 geese in the pond, and 27 birds in the pond in total because 15 + 12 = 27. The ratio means that for every 15 geese, there are 27 total birds in the pond. I hope this helps! Let me know if you're still a bit confused :)
