1/4 of my shirts are red, the rest are blue. Show the ratio of red to blue shirts

Sagot :

Answer:

1:3 red to blue

Step-by-step explanation:

you have x shirts. Let's call the number of red shirts r and the number of blue shirts b.

r = x * 1/4

b = x - r = x - (x * 1/4) = x * 3/4

r:b = (x * 1/4):(x * 3/4) = (1/4):(3/4) = 1:3
