14 : 42
7 42 = 6
14 : 6 2 14 : 2 6 7 : 3
The ratio is 7 : 3 .
14 to 42. if we divide 42 by 7 it will become 14 to 6, or 7 to 3.
The ratio of ducks to geese in winter is 7 to 3. This is determined by first simplifying the initial ratio of 14 to 42 and then adjusting for the new number of geese, which is 7 times fewer in winter. The final ratio is calculated as 14 ducks to 6 geese, simplified to 7 to 3.
