You can compare fractions by using the benchmark fraction of 1/2. To use this in order to make comparisons, you will need to look carefully at what the numerator and The denominators are in a fraction. If the top number, the numerator is less than half of the denominator, then the fraction would be less then the benchmark 1/2. If the numerator is more than half of the denominator then the fraction would be more than the benchmark 1/2. For example, 3/4 is more than 1/2 because the numerator of three is more than half of the denominator 4.

4:7

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the number of corn tortillas to flour tortillas is 3:4. So this means there are at least 3 corn tortillas and 4 flour tortillas.

We need to add 3 and 4 to see the simplified total of tortillas. 3+4=7.

There is a total of 7 tortillas regardless of their type.

Now we just need to compare this with the number they already gave us for flour tortillas, which is 4.

4:7 or 4 flour:7 in total

The ratio of flour tortillas to total tortillas is 4:7.
