Given:
Number of pieces of red construction paper = 250
Number of pieces of blue construction paper = 114
To find:
The ratio of red to blue.
Solution:
We have,
Red construction paper = 250
Blue construction paper = 114
The ratio of red to blue is
[tex]\dfrac{Red}{Blue}=\dfrac{250}{114}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{Red}{Blue}=\dfrac{2\times 125}{2\times 57}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{Red}{Blue}=\dfrac{125}{57}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{Red}{Blue}=125:57[/tex]
The ratio of red to blue is 125:57. Therefore, the correct option is c.
