I'll explain this problem to you and then give you the answer.
Ex. Sarah has 3 blue cars and lily has 8 red cars. What is the ratio from blue cars to red cars? Now they ask first that what is the ratio of BLUE CARS to RED CARS so blue cars is first and then red cars is second so the answer is 3:8. If it asked what what the ratio of red cars to blue cars it would be 8:3 because it's asking red cars FIRST so u errors that down and then blue cars

im not very good at explaining this, but the ratio 4:5 would be saying that for every 5 people that visit a clothing store 4 are teens. or 2:4 could be for every 4 cars, 2 are white. does this help?
