A. 3:4
B. 9:4
C. 4:9
D. 2:1

Answer 1

The correct answer is option A. The ratio of bananas to apples is 3:4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is option A. The ratio of bananas to apples is 3:4.

To find the ratio, we divide the number of bananas by the number of apples. In this case, the number of bananas is 9 and the number of apples is 4, so the ratio is 9:4.

Alternatively, we can simplify the ratio by dividing both numbers by their greatest common factor, which in this case is 1. So the simplified ratio is 9/1:4/1, which is also 9:4.
