Remember, you always compare the first mentioned to the second-mentioned. Example: Write a ratio for a mall that has 50 purses and 27 pairs of gloves. You would write it like so: 50:27. 50 to 27. 50/27. Does that help?
Unless mentioned in another way, of course.

To determine the correct ratio, we need to compare the first quantity (monkeys) to the second quantity (chimpanzees). Let's compare the number of monkeys (first quantity) to the number of chimpanzees (second quantity):
A. 18 to 14 - This compares 18 chimpanzees to 14 monkeys.
B. 14 to 28 - This compares 14 monkeys to 28 chimpanzees, but the order is reversed from the original situation.
C. 18 to 14 - This compares 18 chimpanzees to 14 monkeys, which is the correct order.
D. 14 to 18 - This compares 14 monkeys to 18 chimpanzees, but again the order is reversed.
So, the correct ratio is option C: 18 to 14, 14:18, 14/18.
