To find the ratio of shaded parts to unshaded parts based on the information provided:
-
From the first statement: 4 shaded rectangles and 2 unshaded rectangles imply a ratio of shaded to unshaded of \( \frac{4}{2} = 2:1 \).
-
From the second statement: 2 shaded for every 4 unshaded gives a ratio of \( \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2} \) or \( 1:2 \).
-
From the third statement: 6 shaded for every 2 unshaded implies a ratio of \( \frac{6}{2} = 3:1 \).
-
From the fourth statement: 2 shaded for every 2 unshaded results in a ratio of \( \frac{2}{2} = 1:1 \).
-
From the fifth statement: 4 shaded for every 2 unshaded gives a ratio of \( \frac{4}{2} = 2:1 \).
Now we have different ratios based on the interpretations:
- \( 2:1 \)
- \( 1:2 \)
- \( 3:1 \)
- \( 1:1 \)
- \( 2:1 \)
If we're looking for a single consistent representation or the most commonly mentioned ratios, we have:
- Ratio \( 2:1 \) from the first and fifth statements.
Assuming the information provided is accurate and the task is to determine the ratio concerning the rectangles:
The correct and most consistent ratio of shaded parts to unshaded parts is 2:1.
