To find the ratio of Elijah’s pants to shirts, we need to divide the number of Elijah's pants by the number of Elijah's shirts.
From the given information, Josiah brought 6 shirts and 4 pants. So, to find Elijah's shirts and pants, we subtract Josiah's from the total.
Total shirts - Josiah's shirts = Elijah's shirts
10 - 6 = 4
Total pants - Josiah's pants = Elijah's pants
6 - 4 = 2
Now, we can find the ratio:
Elijah’s pants to shirts = 2/4
Simplifying the ratio, we get:
Elijah’s pants to shirts = 1/2
So, the correct ratio is:

To find the ratio of Elijah's pants to shirts, we need to determine how many pants and shirts Elijah brought.
We are given that Josiah brought a total of 6 shirts and 4 pants. So, to find the number of shirts Elijah brought, we can subtract Josiah's shirts from the total shirts brought:
Total shirts - Josiah's shirts = Elijah's shirts
10 - 6 = 4 shirts
Similarly, we can find the number of pants Elijah brought by subtracting Josiah's pants from the total pants brought:
Total pants - Josiah's pants = Elijah's pants
6 - 4 = 2 pants
Therefore, Elijah brought 2 pants and 4 shirts.
Now, we can determine the ratio of Elijah's pants to shirts by placing the number of pants over the number of shirts:
Ratio = Elijah's pants / Elijah's shirts
Ratio = 2 / 4
Simplifying the ratio, we get:
Ratio = 1/2
So, the ratio of Elijah's pants to shirts is 1/2.
