Lambert · Answer 1

To find the ratio asked we just have to divide the number of brooms by the number of the mops. From the given, we get a ratio of equal to 6/4. This may also be simplified to 3/2. Thus, the answer is letter A. 3/2.

Maria Avila · Answer 2

I believe it is A because 6/2=3, 4/2=2, which gives the ratio 3/2.
