Let’s solve each problem step by step. We are finding
part-to-part ratios — that means we count how many of one thing there are, and how many of another thing there are, then write the ratio in two ways: “___ to ___” and “___ : ___”.

Problem 1)
Butterflies: 4
Flies: 3
→ Ratio of butterflies to flies = 4 to 3 → 4 : 3
✔ Check: Count again — yes, 4 butterflies, 3 flies.
---
Problem 2)
Rabbits: 4
Cats: 3
→ Ratio of rabbits to cats = 4 to 3 → 4 : 3
✔ Check: 4 black rabbits, 3 orange cats. Correct.
---
Problem 3)
Green fish: 5
Black fish: 2
→ Ratio of green fish to black fish = 5 to 2 → 5 : 2
✔ Check: Green fish appear 5 times, black fish 2 times. Yes.

Problem 4)
Frogs: 3
Snails: 4
→ Ratio of frogs to snails = 3 to 4 → 3 : 4
✔ Check: Frogs at positions 1, 3, 6 → 3 total. Snails at 2, 4, 5, 7 → 4 total. Correct.
---
Problem 5)
Bicycles: 4
Cars: 3
→ Ratio of bicycles to cars = 4 to 3 → 4 : 3
✔ Check: Bicycles: 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th → 4. Cars: 1st, 5th, 7th → 3. Correct.

Problem 6)
Rockets: 4
Stars: 5
→ Ratio of rockets to stars = 4 to 5 → 4 : 5
✔ Check: Rockets at positions 2, 4, 5, 8 → 4. Stars at 1, 3, 6, 7, 9 → 5. Correct.

Final Answer:
1) 4 to 3
4 : 3
2) 4 to 3
4 : 3
3) 5 to 2
5 : 2
4) 3 to 4
3 : 4
5) 4 to 3
4 : 3
6) 4 to 5
4 : 5
