Answer:

29:17

17:46

29:46

17:29

Explanation:

In this problem, we are given three quantities and all we have to do is to write ratios relating two of them. Since all the numbers are relatively prime, we can no longer simplify the ratios.

Problem 1:

29 girls is to 17 boys

29:17

Problem 2:

17 boys is to 46 learners

17:46

Problem 3:

29 girls is to 46 learners

29:46

Problem 4:

17 boys is to 29 girls

17:29

In these problems, it's usually as simple as putting two or three numbers together and reducing them into simplest form.
