A ratio is just one number divided by the other number.
1) 4 : 2 = 4/2 = 2/1 = 2 to 1
2) 8 : 6 = 4/3 = 4 to 3
3) The ratio of chocolate in Awesome is 8/14 = 4/7 chocolate per oz. The ratio of chocolate in Crunchy is 4/6 = 2/3 chocolate per oz. Crunchy has the higher ratio of chocolate per oz.

1. in the crunchy snack mix there is a total of 6 ounces (4+2). to find the ratio of the chocolate chips to peanuts, you take the amount of ounces of the first item they're asking for (chocolate chips) over the second thing they're asking for (peanuts). so you're ratio would be 4/2 which reduces to 2/1. you have 2 chocolate chips for every peanut.
2. they're different because if you take the total ounces of chocolate chips (8) over the total ounces of peanuts (6), you would have a ratio of 8/6 which reduces to 4/3. this states that for every 4 chocolate chips you will have three peanuts, which is not the same as the crunchy snack mix (2/1).
3. to find this answer, you would take the total amount of ounces of chocolate chips over the total amount of awesome snack mix and the same for crunchy snack mix. so for awesome snack mix: the total ounces of chocolate chips is 8 over the total number of ounces which is 14. so 8/14 would be your ratio. reduced that would be 4/7. for crunchy snack mix: take the total ounces of chocolate chip (4) over the total ounces (6). your ratio would be 4/6 which reduced to 2/3. the crunchy snack mix would have more chocolate chips per ounce because that ratio is bigger. you'll have more chocolate chips for every ounce.
4. to find a ratio that is equivalent o 64/72, you can try to reduce it. i find it to be 8/9. divide the ratio by 8. (64 divided by 8) over (72 divided by 8).
to the person above, it was just a mis-wording of the question. we knew what the person was trying to ask.

Everyone who just answered this question is are stupid idiots. You asked for the RATIO OF CHIPS TO PEANUTS not the RATIO of the OUNCES and you gave the AMOUNT OF OUNCES OF EACH insteadnot the AMOUNT OF CHIPS. The correct answer for number one, number two, and number three cannot be determined from the information given.
The answer to Number four is 8/9.
