3: 16

Explanation:

What is a ratio?

A ratio has two or more numbers that symbolize relation to each other. Ratios are used to compare numbers, and you can compare them using division.

If 16a = 3b, then:

• a/b = 3/16 = 3: 16

This means that the ratio a: b is equivalent to the ratio 3: 16.

Therefore, the ratio a: b is 3:16.
