To find the ratio of the total number of crayons to the number of yellow crayons, we need to first determine the total number of crayons and the number of yellow crayons.
Given that there are 5 red crayons, 6 yellow crayons, and 11 blue crayons in a shoebox, we can find the total number of crayons by adding these three quantities together:
Total number of crayons = 5 (red) + 6 (yellow) + 11 (blue) = 22 crayons
Next, we can find the ratio by dividing the total number of crayons by the number of yellow crayons:
Ratio = Total number of crayons / Number of yellow crayons
= 22 crayons / 6 yellow crayons
Simplifying this ratio, we get 22/6, which can be simplified further to 11/3.
Therefore, the ratio of the total number of crayons to the number of yellow crayons is 11:3.
Out of the given options:
A. 6:22 - This is the reverse of the required ratio, so it is incorrect.
B. 6:16 - This represents the ratio of yellow crayons to red crayons, so it is incorrect.
C. 22:6 - This represents the correct ratio.
D. 16:6 - This represents the ratio of red crayons to yellow crayons, so it is incorrect.
Hence, the correct answer is C. 22:6.
