Answer:

10.5 : 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 84% of the group of people from Portugal, Spain and France are from Portugal

That means the remaining number of people which is (100-84) percent = 16% are from both Spain and France

Since number from Spain = number from France, the number from Spain = 16/2 = 8%

The ratio number from Portugal : number from Spain is
84:8

Dividing both sides of the ratio by 8 gives us the ratio in the form n:1
84/8 = 10.5
8/8 = 1

84:8 is equivalent to 10.5 : 1
