Total number of black marbles = 24

Total number of blue marbles = 12

The ratio of black marbles to blue marbles​ means we are to divide the black marbles by the blue marbles as shown:

Black : Blue = 24 : 12

Black/Blue = 24/12

Black/blue = 2

Hence the ratio of black marbles to blue marbles is 2.

Option A is also correct since black/blue = 24/12

The two correct options are A and C
