    We can do like this

    3:4

    add them

    3+4=7, not over 70

    hmm

    one way is

    3+4=7

    how many 7's are more than 40

    7x>40

    divide both sides by 7

    x>5.7

    about 6

    3*6=18

    4*6=24

    18:24 is the minimum ratio

    18+24=42

    minimum number of pens is 42
