A. 10/6

B. 4/6

C. 2/4

D. 6/4

Answer 1

To find the ratio of Elijah's pants to shirts, we need to determine how many shirts and pants Elijah brought.

Let's find out how many shirts Elijah brought.
We know that Josiah brought a total of 6 shirts and Elijah and Josiah brought a total of 10 shirts.
So, Elijah brought 10 - 6 = <<10-6=4>>4 shirts.

Now let's find out how many pants Elijah brought.
We know that Josiah brought a total of 4 pants and Elijah and Josiah brought a total of 6 pants.
So, Elijah brought 6 - 4 = <<6-4=2>>2 pants.

Therefore, the ratio of Elijah's pants to shirts is 2/4.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. 2/4.
