Question

There are 9 squares and 6 circles. What is the simplest ratio of circles to squares?

Answer 1

2:3, 2 to 3

Explanation:

9 and 6 are both factors of three, so you have to reduce. 3 goes into 9 tree times, and 3 goes into 6 twice. Since it is circles to squares, the 2 comes first then 3.
