These are not hard....u just have to pay very close attention to the wording. Keep in mind ratios can be written as fractions too.

ratio of tomatoes to onions = 21:6 which reduces to 7:2...because there is 21 tomatoes and 6 onions. (21/6 reduces to 7/2...ratios written as fractions)

However, if it would have asked the ratio of onions to tomatoes, it would have been 6:21....which reduces to 2:7....so pay attention to the wording on problems such as these

so ur answer is 7:2
