@Surana
the ratio is tue quotient of the number of princess card divided by the total number of cards...
i think 2 to 2
how many princess cards are there? and how many cards in total?
4/2=2 and there r 2wildlife
4 p cards 32 cards in all 32/4=8
8+4+2+2= d 16 = d 4/16= 1/4 sorry read that wrong at first
"Sylvia has a total of 16 trading cards" of which : superhero: 8 princess: 4 villain: 2 wildlife: 2 so, the ratio of princess to total is 4 to 16 but that is not the simplest form... can you simplify 4/16 ?
so its 4 to 16
yes, but you are asked to give the simplest form that means the minimal equivalent fraction what if you divide both numerator and denominator by 4 ?
4/16 simplify's into 1/4
by 4
so is it 4 to 2
4 to 16 or 1 to 4 .... they are the same ratio, but you are asked for the simplest... so 1 to 4 !
