Answer:

2 : 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 4 squares and 6 circles. We would like the ratio of squares to circles, so we divide 4 by 6:

4 / 6  ⇒  the ratio here would be 4 : 6

We need to simplify this. Notice that both 4 and 6 are divisible by 2. So, we can divide both by 2:

4/2 : 6/2  ⇒  2 : 3

2 and 3 don't share any factors other than 1, so we leave the ratio like this.

The answer is thus 2 : 3.
