Answer 2

`125:57`

Explanation:

We have been given that for a recent project, a teacher purchased 250 pieces of red construction paper and 114 pieces of blue construction paper. We are asked to find the ratio of red to blue.

We know that number of red papers are 250 and number of blue papers are 114, so the ratio of red to blue would be:
`250:114`

Upon cancelling out common factor (2) from our ratio, we will get:

`125:57`

Therefore, our required ratio would be
`125:57`.
