The ratio of circles to the total shapes is 1:3.

What is a ratio ?

A ratio is a mathematical way of comparing how many parts is occupied by a thing to an another thing or to the total part.

a:b = c:d, can be written as a/b = c/d which is ad = bc.

According to the given question there are 6 triangles and 3 circles.So total number of shapes including triangles and circles are ( 6 + 3 ) = 9.

So, the ratio of total shapes to the circles is

= No. of circles ÷ Total no. of shapes

= 3/9.

= 1/3.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions. :)
