Question

There are 20 squares and 4 circles. What is the simplest ratio of circles
to total shapes?

Answer 1

Answer: 1:6

Explanation:

This is really simple

First, you find the total number of shapes (in this case, it would be 20 + 4 = 24)

Since the ratio is of circles to total shapes, the non-simplified version of the ratio would be 4:24

To get the simplified version you would have to keep dividing both numbers by 2

4:24 = 2:12

2:12 = 1:6

Therefore, your answer is 1:6
