<em>Additional comment</em>
Some problems can be fairly easily worked by considering the difference between A and B in the ratio A/B. However, those differences are irrelevant to this problem. Here, you're simply asked to write the ratios.
We note that the ratios asked for reverse the appearance of the numbers given in the problem. That is, the second number in the ratio requested is the number described first. This requires you pay attention to what you are given and what is requested. (That's always a good idea.)
