The student's ratio is not correct. The ratio for the number of purple buttons to green buttons would be 4:3. The correct ratio is obtained by counting the number of purple buttons (4) and the number of green buttons (3), and writing them in the form of a ratio. The student's ratio is incomplete and does not accurately represent the number of purple buttons in comparison to the number of green buttons.
