Here the question is asking us basically for unit ratio which is kinda like unit rate except ratio wise.
since the ratio is 4:3 our answer will be 2:1
this is because if you keep taking one shirt out, you still have to have at least one shirt on the short sleeve side, you end up with 2 long sleeves for every 1 short sleeve
