Answer 1

To find the ratio of children to keychains, we need to calculate the total number of keychains.

Each of the six children has two keychains, so the total number of keychains is:

6 children × 2 keychains/child = 12 keychains.

Now we can express the ratio of children to keychains:

Ratio of children to keychains = 6 children : 12 keychains.

This can be simplified by dividing both parts of the ratio by 6:

6:12 simplifies to 1:2.

However, the answer options only seem to provide the full ratio. Among the options given, the correct answer representing the original ratio without simplification is:

6:12.
