The problem asks for the part-to-part ratio of red marbles to blue marbles based on the table.

Looking at the table:

- 4 red marbles : 5 blue marbles
- 12 red marbles : 15 blue marbles
- 32 red marbles : 40 blue marbles

Each of these pairs of numbers maintains the same ratio:  
\[ \frac{4}{5}, \frac{12}{15}, \frac{32}{40} = \frac{4}{5} \]

This simplifies to a ratio of 4:5 (or 4 parts red to 5 parts blue).

Now, let's evaluate the options given:
- 25 red : 24 blue → This does **not** match the 4:5 ratio.
- 24 red : 25 blue → This does **not** match the 4:5 ratio.
- 60 red : 48 blue → Check:  
  \[
  \frac{60}{48} = \frac{5}{4}, \quad \text{which is incorrect.}
  \]
- 48 red : 60 blue → Check:  
  \[
  \frac{48}{60} = \frac{4}{5}, \quad \text{which is correct.}
  \]

The correct answer is **48 red : 60 blue**.

**Tip**: Always simplify ratios by dividing both terms by their greatest common divisor!

This two-column table displays the number of red marbles and blue marbles in part-to-part ratio. Based on the table, select the correct ratio: 25 red : 24 blue, 24 red : 25 blue, 60 red : 48 blue, 48 red : 60 blue.
