To find the ratio of sisters to brothers, we first determine the number of brothers.

Given:

  • Total siblings = 12
  • Sisters = 4

So, brothers = Total siblings - Sisters = 12 - 4 = 8.

Now, we can express the ratio of sisters to brothers:

Ratio of sisters to brothers = Sisters : Brothers = 4 : 8.

Thus, the correct answer is 4:8.
