Answer:

The ratio is 2:3

Explanation:

Raj gave his mother a bouquet of 12 pink and white roses.

The amount of pink roses in a bouquet = 4

The amount of white roses in the bouquet = 12 - 4 = 8

Ration of white roses in the bouquet =
(8)/(12) =
(2)/(3) = 2 : 3

The ratio is 2 : 3 represents the number of white roses to the total number of roses in the bouquet.
