The ratio of A to B is represented using the notation:

a : b

if a is the amount of A and b is the amount of B.

In this problem, A is triangles and B squares.

We can see from the image that the number of triangles is 2, and that the number of squares is 3.

So, we have:

a = 2

b = 3

Therefore, the ratio that represents the number of triangles to squares is 2:3.

Option A) is correct.
