Sagot :

Hey there!

Ratios can be written in 3 forms, as follows.

x to y

x:y

[tex]\frac{x}{y}[/tex]

So, we will begin by writing your problem's ratio in the fraction form, and simplifying:

[tex]\frac{16}{4}[/tex]

Simplified, this is:

[tex]\frac{4}{1}[/tex]

So, we can take this new ratio and write it in the 3 forms:

4 to 1

4:1

[tex]\frac{4}{1}[/tex]

Have a terrificly amazing day!
