Answer

e) 5:4

Work Step by Step

so we have to calculate the ratio:- $\frac{g\space yellow : 1.00 g\space blue (right)}{g \space yellow : 1.00 g\space blue (left)}$ now given are 2 different compounds one has 1 blue and 2 yellow another one has 2 blue and 5 yellow now let us calculate $\frac{g\space yellow : 1.00 g\space blue (right)}{g\space yellow : 1.00 g\space blue (left)}$ =$\frac{5 g \space yellow : 2.00 g\space blue (right)}{2g\space yellow : 1.00 g\space blue (left)}$ = $\frac{5 g \space yellow : 2.00 g\space blue (right)}{4g\space yellow : 2.00 g\space blue (left)}$ i.e doubled denominator =$\frac{5 g \space yellow : 1.00 g\space blue (right)}{4g\space yellow : 1.00 g\space blue (left)}$ division $2\div2$ equals 1 $\frac{g\space yellow : 1.00 g\space blue (right)}{g \space yellow : 1.00 g\space blue (left)}$ = $\frac{5}{4}$ so, the final answer is e) 5:4
