There are 8 yellow and 24 blue. Our ratio from yellow to blue is 8:24.
To simplify this, we need to see if we can divide 8 and 24 by a common factor.
8 and 24 can be divided by 8, so let's do that.
8/8 = 1.
24/8 = 3.
Your new and simplified ratio is 1:3 from yellow to blue, but we're looking for blue to yellow. Flip the ratio.
3:1 is your ratio.
C.) is your correct answer.
I hope this helps!
