4. Thomas purchased his notebooks for school on Thursday. He bought 4 black notebooks and 2 red notebooks. What is the ratio of red notebooks to black notebooks?
A) 4:2
B)
C) 1:2
D): 1 to 4

answer: first option i.e. 'a' is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

number of minutes to wrap a small gift box = 4 minutes

we need to find the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes

so, it becomes,

hence, first option 'a'   is correct.
