Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows insects, all the same size, shaded in two patterns. The first group of shaded insects is shown in two rows, with each row containing 5 insects. Next to these are two insects with a different shading than the first group.

The total number of bugs is 5 + 5 + 2 = 12 bugs.
The number of plain blue bugs is 2.
The ratio of plain blue bugs to the total number of bugs is 2/12 = 1/6.
To identify the ratio of plain blue bugs to the total number of bugs, we need to count the number of plain blue bugs and the total number of bugs.
From the image, we can see that there are 2 rows of insects, with each row containing 5 insects. So, there are a total of 2 * 5 = 10 insects in the first group.
Next to this group, there are two insects with a different shading. So, the total number of bugs is 10 + 2 = 12.
Now, we need to determine the number of plain blue bugs. From the image, we can see that all the insects in the first group are shaded, not plain blue. Therefore, there are 0 plain blue bugs in the first group.
So, the ratio of plain blue bugs to the total number of bugs is 0/12, which simplifies to 0.
Therefore, the ratio of plain blue bugs to the total number of bugs is 0:12 or 0.
To answer this question, we need to count the number of plain blue bugs and the total number of bugs from the given image.
Counting the plain blue bugs:
- Look at the first group of shaded insects, which is shown in two rows, with each row containing 5 insects. Count the number of plain blue bugs in this group.
- Next to this group, there are two insects with a different shading. These are not plain blue bugs, so we don't count them.
Counting the total number of bugs:
- Look at the first group of shaded insects, which is shown in two rows, with each row containing 5 insects. Count the total number of insects in this group.
- Next to this group, there are two insects with a different shading. These should also be included in the total count of bugs.
Once you have the count for plain blue bugs and the total number of bugs, you can calculate the ratio of plain blue bugs to the total number of bugs by dividing the count of plain blue bugs by the count of total bugs.
