4:9
5:9
4:5
5:4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of blue shapes in the set

y ----> all shapes in the set

we know that

To find out the ratio of blue shapes to all shapes in the set , divide the number of blue shapes in the set by the number of all shapes in the set

we have

therefore

The ratio is equal to

substitute

a negative exponent is translated as follows:

so, we have
