Question

There are 12 triangles and 4 squares. What is the simplest ratio of squares to total shapes

Answer 1

Explanation:

Ratio means something to something:

SO:

We have 4 squares, 12 triangles, and the total of 16 shapes; 12+4=16

The question asks for the ratio of squares to total shapes.

Then:

4 squares:16 entire shapes= 4:16=1:4
