which of the following correctly describes the ratio 6:3?
A 6 triangles to 9 shapes
B 9 shapes to 6 triangles
C 6 triangles to 3 circles
D 3/6
The correct answer is B) 9 shapes to 6 triangles.
The correct option that describes the ratio 6:3 is option A, which is "6 triangles to 9 shapes."
To find the correct description for the given ratio 6:3, we need to consider the order in which the numbers are presented.
The ratio 6:3 means that there are 6 of something for every 3 of something else. So we should look for the option that represents this relationship.
Looking at the options:
A. "6 triangles to 9 shapes" - This option does not match the given ratio, as the ratio is 6:3 and not 6:9.
B. "9 shapes to 6 triangles" - This option does not match the given ratio, as the ratio is 6:3, not 9:6.
C. "6 triangles to 3 circles" - This option does not match the given ratio as it does not involve the 3 mentioned in the ratio.
D. "3/6" - This option is a fraction, and it is written in simplified form. The fraction simplifies to 1/2, which is not equal to the ratio 6:3.
Therefore, none of the given options correctly describe the ratio 6:3.
