Question

Examine the figures. What is the ratio of squares to triangles?

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

First, count how many squares there are: 8 squares.

Now, count how many triangles there are: 6 triangles.

Ratio is simply the number of one thing divided by the number of the other. Here, since we want the ratio of squares to triangles, we have:

8 squares / 6 squares

We can simplify this to:

8 / 6 = 4 / 3

And finally, this can be written in the "ratio notation":

4 / 3 = 4 : 3

The answer is B.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Step 1: Find the Ratio

Count up how many squares there are

There are 8 squares

Count up how many triangles there are

There are 6 triangles

Make a ratio of squares to triangles

Squares : Triangles

8 : 6

(8/2) : (6/2)

4 : 3

Answer: Option B
