In this problem, we want to solve for the ratio of green circles to the total number of circles. Based on the image provided, we have 5 green circles. The total number of circles presented is 15. The ratio of green circles to the total number of circles is written as
[tex]5\colon15\leftrightarrow\frac{5}{15}[/tex]
The ratio can also be simplified further as
[tex]1\colon3\leftrightarrow\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Explanation to why the answer is wrong:
The answer is correct. Maybe try rewriting the ratio in its original form, not in simplified form.
Answer: 5:15 or 5/15
Simplified form: 1:3 or 1/3
