Answer:
The simplified ratio of ALL the pens to pencils is
= 3:2
Step-by-step explanation:
A canister holds 3 blue pens, 4 black pens, 2 red pens, and 6 pencils.
Step 1
Sum of all the pens is:
Blue pens + Black pens + Red pens
= 3 + 4 + 2
= 9 pens
Number of pencils = 6 pencils
Step 2
The simplified ratio of ALL the pens to pencils is
Pens : Pencils
= 9 : 6
= 3:2
