Question

In the diagram, what is the ratio of patterned circles to plain circles?

Answer 1

5:12 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

Answer 2

5:7

Explanation:

From the given graph it is clear that

The total number of circles = 12

The total number of patterned circles = 5

The total number of plain circles = 7

We need to find the ratio of patterned circles to plain circles.

`Ratio=\frac{\text{patterned circles}}{\text{plain circles}}`

Substitute patterned circles = 5 and plain circles = 7 in the above formula.

`Ratio=(5)/(7)`

`Ratio=5:7`

Therefore, the ratio of patterned circles to plain circles is 5:7.
