Ratio of ducks to geese is 14 to 42. In winter there are 7 times fewer geese, but the number of ducks do not change. What is the ratio of ducks to geese in the winter?

14 to 42. if we divide 42 by 7 it will become 14 to 6, or 7 to 3.

14:42


(42)/(7) =6


14:6 \\ \\ (14)/(2): (6)/(2) \\ \\ 7:3

The ratio is 7 : 3.
