Answer:
The ratio of triangles to squares is 2 to 4
There are two squares for every triangle.
There are three smiley faces for every triangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of triangles, smiley and squares are shown in the diagram attached.
From the diagram, there are 6 smiley faces, 2 triangles and 4 squares.
A ratio compare two or more values, thereby showing how many times one number contains the other.
A) Correct. The ratio of triangles to squares = number of triangle / number of square = 2 / 4 = 2 to 4
B) Incorrect. The ratio of squares to smiley faces = number of square / number of smiley face = 4 / 6 = 4 to 6
C) Incorrect. The ratio of smiley faces to triangles = number of smiley faces / number of triangles = 6 / 2 = 6 to 2
D) Correct. Since the ratio of squares to triangles = number of squares / number of triangle = 4 / 2 = 2 / 1 = 2 to 1, hence there are two squares for every triangle
E) Incorrect. Since the ratio of triangles to smiley faces = number of triangle / number of smiley faces = 2 / 6 = 1 / 3 = 1 to 3, hence there is one triangle for every 3 smiley faces
F) Correct. Since the ratio of smiley faces to triangles = number of smiley faces / number of triangles = 6 / 2 = 3 / 1 = 3 to 1, hence there is 3 smiley faces for every one triangle
