What is the ratio of the eggs in the first burrow to the eggs in the second burrow?

The rhinoceros iguana, which lives on the island of Hispaniola, lays up to 20 eggs in a burrow. While studying an iguana colony, naturalists found 12 eggs in the first burrow, 6 eggs in the second burrow, 11 eggs in the third burrow and 20 eggs in the fourth burrow.
