Answer 2

1. Statement form = 2 teachers to 46 pupils
Colon form = 2:46
Fraction form = 2/46 = 1/23

2. Statement form = 21 garbage cans to 14 classroom
Colon form = 21:14
Fraction form = 21/14

3. Statement form = 36 glasses of juice to 30 sandwiches
Colon form = 36:30
Fraction form = 36/30 = 18/15

4. Statement form = 12 flowers to 4 vases
Colon form = 12:4
Fraction form = 12/4 = 3/1 = 3

5. Statement form = 4 books to 10 pupils
Colon form = 4:10
Fraction form = 4/10 = 2/5
