Sure! Let’s solve each ratio problem step by step based on the image you described.
---
1) Apples to Pumpkins
- Count the apples: There are
3 red apples.
- Count the pumpkins: There are
4 orange pumpkins.
- So, the ratio of
apples to pumpkins is:
>
3 : 4
---
2) Cupcakes to Ice Creams
- Count the cupcakes: There are
5 pink cupcakes.
- Count the ice creams: There are
6 colorful ice cream cones.
- So, the ratio of
cupcakes to ice creams is:
>
5 : 6
---
3) Fish to Beetles
- Count the fish: There are
2 blue fish.
- Count the beetles: There are
5 brown beetles.
- So, the ratio of
fish to beetles is:
>
2 : 5
---
4) Fruits to Mangoes
- First, count
all fruits:
- Yellow mangoes: 6
- Red apples: 3
→ Total fruits = 6 + 3 =
9
- Now, count
mangoes only:
6
- The question asks for “The ratio of fruits to mangoes” — that means
total fruits : mangoes.
>
9 : 6
But we should simplify this ratio.
Divide both numbers by 3:
>
3 : 2
✔ So, the simplified ratio is
3 : 2
*(Note: Sometimes students get confused and think it’s mangoes to total fruits — but the question says “fruits to mangoes”, so total first, then mangoes.)*

5) Bus to Vehicles
- Count the
bus: There is
1 yellow school bus.
- Count
all vehicles:
- Pink cars: 7
- Bus: 1
→ Total vehicles = 7 + 1 =
8
- Ratio of
bus to vehicles =
1 : 8
>
1 : 8
---
6) Animals to Elephants
- Count
all animals:
- Gray elephants: 5
- Orange lions: 3
→ Total animals = 5 + 3 =
8
- Count
elephants only:
5
- Ratio of
animals to elephants =
8 : 5
>
8 : 5
---

✔ Final Answers:
1)

5 : 6
3)
2 : 5
4)
3 : 2 *(simplified from 9:6)*
5)
