Neveah Rollins · Answer 1

Just simplify the proportion.

300 to 225

divide by 25 on both sides

12 : 9

Divide by 3 on both sides

4:3

Since we cannot reduce any further, the answer is C. 4:3

Rose Daniel · Answer 2

Ratio between first session (300) and second session (225) ...

300 : 225

ratios can be written as fractions. 300:225 = 300/225 ... and when this is reduced, it becomes 4/3 ... which in turn, can become 4:3.

so ur answer is 4:3
