There are 4 such boxes containing toffee and mints Mary take 8 toffees and 26 mints from the boxes what is the ratio of the number of toffees to the number of mints

4:13

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio expresses the relationship between two or more numbers. It shows the frequency of the number of times that one value is contained within other value(s).

8 : 26

divide each number by 2

4 : 13

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.
