To find the ratio of blue costumes to yellow costumes, we can use the numbers given:
- Number of blue costumes = 24
- Number of yellow costumes = 8
The ratio of blue to yellow is given by:
\[
\text{Ratio (blue : yellow)} = \frac{\text{Number of blue costumes}}{\text{Number of yellow costumes}} = \frac{24}{8}
\]
Now, simplifying the ratio:
\[
\frac{24}{8} = 3
\]
Thus, the ratio of blue costumes to yellow costumes is:
\[
\text{Ratio} = 3:1
\]
So, the correct response is:
3:1 (3 colon 1).
- Number of blue costumes = 24
- Number of yellow costumes = 8
The ratio of blue to yellow is given by:
\[
\text{Ratio (blue : yellow)} = \frac{\text{Number of blue costumes}}{\text{Number of yellow costumes}} = \frac{24}{8}
\]
Now, simplifying the ratio:
\[
\frac{24}{8} = 3
\]
Thus, the ratio of blue costumes to yellow costumes is:
\[
\text{Ratio} = 3:1
\]
So, the correct response is:
3:1 (3 colon 1).
