Answer explanation
Choice A is correct. It’s given that Shaquan has 7 red cards and 28 blue cards. Therefore, the ratio of red cards to blue cards that Shaquan has is 7 to 28. This ratio can be reduced by dividing both parts of the ratio by 7, which yields the ratio 1 to 4.
Choice B is incorrect. This is the ratio of blue cards to red cards that Shaquan has. Choice C is incorrect and may result from a calculation error when reducing the ratio. Choice D is incorrect. This may result from finding the ratio of blue cards to red cards, or 28 to 7, and then making a calculation error when reducing the ratio.
