Question

A pattern has 6 triangles to every 18 yellow triangles what is the ratio yellow triangles to blue triangles

Answer 1

The ratio would be 3:1

( the 6 triangles are blue, which I’m pretty sure they are.)

Since there are 18 yellows and 6 blues, and the question calls for the ratio of the yellows to the blues, the ratio is 18:6. But you always have to simplify. The GCF is 6, so you would divide both of them by 6. The ratio is then 3:1.
