Answer 1

Answer: B

in three ways we have;

$17\text{ to }12,\text{ }17\colon12,\text{ }\frac{17}{12}$

Explanation:

We want to write the ratio of the situation in three ways, comparing the first quantity to the second quantity.

Given that;

A zoo has 17 monkeys and 12 chimpanzees

so, we want to compare the number of Monkeys to the number of Chimpanzees.

There are 17 Monkeys to 12 Chimpanzees.

$17\text{ to }12$

Writing in other ways, we have;

$17\colon12$

and lastly in fraction;

$\frac{17}{12}$

Therefore, in three ways we have;

$17\text{ to }12,\text{ }17\colon12,\text{ }\frac{17}{12}$
