Answer:

1:4

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the information provided in this question, the length of the small intestine is 6 meters and the length of the large intestine 1.5 meters. This means that the small intestine is longer than the large intestine.

To find the ratio of large intestine to the small intestine, we divide each length value by the smallest (1.5) i.e.

Large intestine = 1.5 ÷ 1.5 = 1

Small intestine = 6 ÷ 1.5 = 4

The ratio of large to small intestine according to this question is 1:4
