Right, 8.
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
So there are 4 months with 30 days and 8 months with other than 30 days.
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
The ratio is (number of months with 30 days) to (number of months of other than 30 days)
OpenStudy (anonymous):

or c
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
The ratio is \(\bf \color{red}{(number~ of~ months~ with ~30 ~days)}\) to \(\bf \color{red}{(number~ of~ months~ of~ other~ than~ 30 ~days)}\)
or
\(\bf \color {red}{4} ~ to ~ \color{red}{8}\)
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
Be careful.
c is 2 to 1
The larger number is first, 2, then the smaller number 1.
Here it's 4 to 8, with the smaller number first.
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
4 to 8 can be reduced to 1 to 2 by dividing both numbers by 4.
Choice c is 2 to 1, not 1 to 2.
