Answer :

(1) → (B) 4 : 2

(2) → (E) 4 : 1

(3) → (A) 4 : 4

(4) → (D) 2 : 11

(5) → (C) 11 : 1

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given the word MISSISSIPPI.

Now we have to determine the ratio of letters.

In word MISSISSIPPI, there are 1 letter of 'M', 4 letter of 'I', 4 letter of 'S' and 2 letter of 'P'.

Total number of letters = 11

So,

(1) the ratio of S's to P's = 4 : 2

(2) the ratio of I's to M's = 4 : 1

(3) the ratio of S's to I's = 4 : 4

(4) the ratio of P's to letters = 2 : 11

(5) the ratio of letters to M's = 11 : 1
