Two for Every Three
13 to 2 Stars come first, so 3 comes first: 3 to 2.
25 to 2 Basketballs come first, so 5 comes first: 5 to 2.
31 to 4 Dogs come first: 1 dog for every 4 cats.
43 apples for every 5 bananas There are 3 apples and 5 bananas, so 3 apples for every 5 bananas. Two fewer is a difference, not a ratio.
51 to 3 There is 1 sun and 3 stickers in all: 1 to 3.
6False Stars come first and there are 4 stars. The ratio of stars to hearts is 4 to 6. 6 to 4 is hearts to stars.
78 to 5 There are 8 tickets in all and 5 in the morning: 8 to 5.
81-A, 2-D, 3-C, 4-B The first name gets the first number. All the animals is 5.
9B 3 to 2 means 3 stars for every 2 moons. A is 2 to 3, and C is 3 to 5.
104 to 7 There are 4 girls and 4 + 3 = 7 kids in all: 4 to 7.
11False The order changes the ratio. 5 to 2 and 2 to 5 are different.
