Question

What is the ratio of 8penguins and 4 whales

Answer 1

A ratio is a scale of numbers with one number equal to one.

Since the question asked for penguins and then whales:

8:4

Divide both sides by 2. They are both divisible by 2.

4:2

Do it one more time.

2:1

For every 2 penguins, there is 1 whale.

I hope this helps!
