Answer:

2:3

Explanation:

660=total

440=kidney beans

440:660 the 440 would come first because it asks What is the ratio of kidney beans to all the beans. so kidney beans go first

you have to simply 440:660 we have to find a number that can go into both so we find 220 and it goes 2 times in 440 and 3 times in 660.

so the ratio would be 2:3
