B.3 : 5
C.4 : 5
D.2 : 1

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 1:2

Step-by-step explanation:

She has 4 pair of sneakers= 8 actual shoes

she has 3 brown dress shoes = 6 actual shoes

she has 5 pairs of black dress shoes = 10 actual shoes

∴total number of dress shoes = 16

ratio between sneakers and dress shoes

=$\frac{number of sneaker shoes}{number of dress shoes}$

=$\frac{8}{16}$

=$\frac{1}{2}$

∴1:2
