Question

There are 4 white and 8 red roses in a bouquet. Find the ratios. The ratio of the number of red roses to the number of white roses

Answer 1

Given:

Number of white roses = 4

Number of red roses = 8

To find:

The ratio of the number of red roses to the number of white roses.

Solution:

Using the given information, the ratio of the number of red roses to the number of white roses is

$\text{Required ratio}=\dfrac{\text{Number of red roses}}{\text{Number of white roses}}$

$\text{Required ratio}=\dfrac{8}{4}$

$\text{Required ratio}=\dfrac{2}{1}$

$\text{Required ratio}=2:1$

Therefore, the required ratio is 2:1.
