Let me work through each question step by step.
Question 1: What is the ratio of stars to squares?
Looking at the first row:
- Stars (yellow): I count 4 stars
- Squares (purple): I count 6 squares
Ratio of stars to squares = 4:6
To simplify, I find the greatest common factor of 4 and 6, which is 2.
4 ÷ 2 = 2
6 2 = 3
Simplified ratio = 2:3
Answer 1: 4:6 or 2:3

Question 2: What is the ratio of circles to triangles?
Looking at the second row:
- Circles (green): I count 7 circles
- Triangles (red): I count 2 triangles
Ratio of circles to triangles = 7:2
Can this be simplified? The GCF of 7 and 2 is 1 (they have no common factors other than 1).
Answer 2: 7:2
---
Question 3: What is the ratio of circles to triangles simplified?
From question 2, we have 7:2, which is already in simplest form since 7 and 2 share no common factors.
Answer 3: 7:2
---
Question 4: What is the ratio of triangles to circles?
Looking at the third row:
- Triangles (red): I count 5 triangles
- Circles (green): I count 7 circles
Ratio of triangles to circles = 5:7
Can this be simplified? The GCF of 5 and 7 is 1 (they are both prime numbers with no common factors).
Answer 4: 5:7
---
Question 5: What is the ratio of triangles to circles simplified?
From question 4, we have 5:7, which is already in simplest form.
Answer 5: 5:7
---
Question 6: What is the ratio of circles to triangles simplified?
This asks for circles to triangles from the third row:
- Circles (green): 7 circles
- Triangles (red): 5 triangles
Ratio of circles to triangles = 7:5
The GCF of 7 and 5 is 1, so it's already simplified.
Answer 6: 7:5
Final Answer:
1) 4:6 or 2:3
2) 7:2
3) 7:2
4) 5:7
5) 5:7
6) 7:5
