Question

At the zoo, Kai noticed the ratio of legs to heads in the aquarium was 4:1. Was he at the octopus or the sea turtle exhibit?

Answer 1

He is at the sea turtle exhibit.

Explanation:

A ratio is always given in the simplest form.

For an octopus the ratio `"legs : heads"`

`color(white)(xxxxxxxxxxx)`would be `8:1`

For a sea turtle the ratio `"legs : heads"`

`color(white)(xxxxxxxxxxx)`would be `4:1`

These are both in the simplest form already.

He is at the sea turtle exhibit.
