A bowl has 4 strawberries and 6 grapes. Written directly from the counts, before simplifying, what is the ratio of strawberries to grapes?
- 4:6
- 6:4
- 4:10
- 6:10
Answer
4:6
The order is strawberries first, grapes second, so the direct ratio is 4:6. It can simplify to 2:3 later, but this question asks for the ratio before simplifying.
