So we know if there are 5 groups/dozens of Monarch butterflies, there are 2 groups/dozens of Queen butterflies. In other words, there are 5 Monarch butterflies for every 2 Queen butterflies.
Then we can turn that into an equation.
From the last equation we wrote we can see that the total number of butterflies in the farm is
.
When we compare the Queen butterflies to total butterflies, we get
The ratio of Queen butterflies to total butterflies is 2:7.

For this case we must simplify the following expression:
We must add similar terms taking into account that:
- Equal signs are added and the same sign is placed.
- Different signs are subtracted and the major sign is placed.
Thus, the simplified expression is:
