Steve Hodge · Answer 1

Ralph will need 9 sheets of pink paper

Explanation:

The red paper to pink paper ratio is 1 to 3. This means that for every 1 piece of red paper, there are 3 pieces of pink paper. Since there are 3 pieces of red paper that Ralph has, you multiply 3 times 3 to get 9 pieces of pink paper.
