diamonds	3

(a) build a diagram to show the ratio of diamonds to emeralds.

drag to build the diagram.

(b) write the ratio of diamonds to emeralds.
:

Explanation:

Step1: Identify quantities

From the table, Diamonds = 3, Emeralds = 4.

Step2: Determine ratio

Ratio of diamonds to emeralds is \( 3:4 \). For the diagram, we can represent groups (e.g., 1 group for 3 diamonds and 1 group for 4 emeralds, but since we use the 1:1 blocks, we can scale? Wait, the diagram has 1:1 blocks. Wait, maybe the diagram is a tape diagram. So for diamonds (3) and emeralds (4), we can have 3 units for diamonds and 4 units for emeralds, using the 1 - unit blocks. So drag 3 of the 1 - unit blocks for diamonds and 4 for emeralds? But the question (a) is to build the diagram, but (b) is to write the ratio. So for (b), the ratio is 3 to 4.

Answer:

3 : 4
