To find the ratio of votes for candidate B compared to candidate A, we need to determine the number of votes for candidate B.
Given that there were 42 total votes and 12 votes for candidate A, we can subtract the votes for candidate A from the total votes to find the votes for candidate B.
Votes for candidate B = Total votes - Votes for candidate A
Votes for candidate B = 42 - 12
Votes for candidate B = 30
Therefore, candidate B received 30 votes.
To find the ratio of votes for candidate B compared to candidate A, we divide the votes for candidate B by the votes for candidate A.
Ratio of votes for candidate B to candidate A = Votes for candidate B / Votes for candidate A
Ratio of votes for candidate B to candidate A = 30 / 12
Ratio of votes for candidate B to candidate A = 2.5
Therefore, the ratio of votes for candidate B compared to candidate A is 2.5:1.
