13 to 4 Fish come first, so 3 comes first: 3 to 4.
25 to 2 Carrots come first, so 5 comes first: 5 to 2.
34 to 7 There are 4 frogs and 4 + 3 = 7 animals in all: 4 to 7.
4A 2 to 3 means 2 apples for every 3 pears. B is 3 to 2, and C is 2 to 5.
53 kites for every 5 balloons There are 3 kites and 5 balloons, so 3 kites for every 5 balloons. Two fewer is a difference, not a ratio.
