Let’s solve each problem step by step, counting the shapes and writing the ratios as requested.

Problem 1: What is the ratio of triangles to circles?
- Count the triangles: There are
2 triangles (△ △).
- Count the circles: There are
3 circles (○ ○ ○).
- Ratio of triangles to circles =
2 : 3
✔ Answer: 2:3

Problem 2: What is the ratio of stars to rectangles?
- Count the stars: There are
4 stars (☆ ☆ ☆ ☆).
- Count the rectangles: There are
2 rectangles (▭ ▭).
- Ratio of stars to rectangles =
4 : 2
We can simplify this ratio by dividing both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:
→ 4 ÷ 2 = 2
→ 2 ÷ 2 = 1
So, simplified ratio =
2 : 1
*(Note: Sometimes worksheets ask for the simplest form. Since this is a 6th-grade worksheet, simplifying is expected.)*
✔ Answer: 2:1

Problem 3: What is the ratio of squares to circles?
- Count the squares: There are
5 squares (□ □ □ in top row, □ □ in bottom row → total 5).
- Count the circles: There are
3 circles (○ ○ ○ — arranged in a triangle shape).
- Ratio of squares to circles =
5 : 3
This ratio cannot be simplified further (since 5 and 3 have no common factors other than 1).
✔ Answer: 5:3

✔ Final Answers:
1.
2:3
2.
2:1
3.
5:3
These are written in simplest form where possible, which is standard for ratio problems at this level.
