The ratio 6:3 can be correctly described as "6 triangles to 3 circles."
To determine which option correctly describes the ratio 6:3, we need to understand what a ratio represents. A ratio is a comparison of two quantities and is typically written in the form of "a:b" where 'a' and 'b' are the quantities being compared.
In this case, the ratio is 6:3. This means we are comparing two quantities, one of which is 6 and the other is 3. Let's examine each option to see which one accurately represents this.
Option 1: 9 shapes to 6 triangles.
Option 2: Start Fraction 3 over 6 End Fraction.
Option 3: 6 triangles to 9 shapes.
Option 4: 6 triangles to 3 circles.
From these options, only Option 3, "6 triangles to 9 shapes," correctly represents the ratio 6:3. It shows that there are 6 triangles for every 9 shapes, which is the same as the ratio 6:3.
So, the answer is Option 3: 6 triangles to 9 shapes.
