Question

There are 3 flag stamps and 7 follower stamps in Noelle’s stamp collection. What is the ratio of flower stamps to flag stamps

Answer 1

Answer: 7:3, 7 and 3, or 7/3 depending how you write it, but it’s the same.

Explanation: When doing ratios, all you do is get both numbers and put them in the order they ask for.

Example: Bob has 4 heart cupcakes. Lisa has 9 butterfly cupcakes. What is the ratio of butterfly cupcakes to heart cupcakes?
The answer to that would be 9:4. You just follow the order the question asks.
