Answer:

Ratio of grey to white is 2:1

Ratio of white to grey is 1:2

Explanation:

Given:

Number of white beads:
\sf (1)/(3)

Ratio of grey to white beads:
\sf 1-(1)/(3)=(2)/(3)

Now,

Ratio of grey to white:


\sf ( (2)/(3))/((1)/(3))= (2)/(3)*(3)/(1)=(2)/(1)

So, the Ratio of grey to white is 2:1

Similarly

Ratio of white to grey beads:


\sf ( (1)/(3))/((2)/(3))= (1)/(3)*(3)/(2)=(1)/(2)

So, the ratio of white to grey beads is 1:2.
