To find the ratio of ounces of blue paint to yellow paint that will make the same shade of green paint, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 7 and 11.

The GCD of 7 and 11 is 1.

Dividing both 7 and 11 by 1 gives us the simplified ratio:

7:11

Therefore, the correct ratio is A) 7:11.
