To get the answer to this question, you need to carefully read and understand each statement. The first statement mentions that ratios and proportions compare items with the same labels, which is true. Ratios and proportions are mathematical tools used to compare quantities with the same units or labels. For example, comparing the ratio of oranges to apples, or the proportion of boys to girls in a classroom.
The third statement is also true as ratios express the relationship between two or more items. Ratios are expressed as a comparison of two (or more) quantities, usually using a colon or as a fraction. Each part of the ratio represents the value of one item in relation to the other items.
The second and fourth statements are false. The second statement states that ratios and proportions compare items with different labels, which is incorrect. As mentioned before, ratios and proportions compare items with the same labels. The fourth statement suggests that ratios express the relationship between only one item, but this is untrue as ratios involve the comparison between two or more items.
Therefore, the correct statements are 1 and 3.
