(2)  →  (E) 4 : 1

(3)  →  (A) 4 : 4

(4)  →  (D) 2 : 11

(5)  →  (C) 11 : 1

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given the word MISSISSIPPI.

Now we have to determine the ratio of letters.

In word MISSISSIPPI, there are 1 letter of 'M', 4 letter of 'I', 4 letter of 'S' and 2 letter of 'P'.

Total number of letters = 11

So,

(1) the ratio of S's to P's  = 4 : 2

(2) the ratio of I's to M's  = 4 : 1

(3) the ratio of S's to I's  = 4 : 4

(4) the ratio of P's to letters  = 2 : 11

(5) the ratio of letters to M's  = 11 : 1

Answer 2

1, s to p
2 I to m
3 s to I
4 p to s
5 s to m
