Given:
X, X, X, Y, Y, V
V, X, X, Y, W, W

# of X's and Y's = 8
# of V's and W's = 4

(Number of squares with X or Y) : (Number of squares with V or W) = 8 : 4 = 2 : 1

$$Ratio = 8:4 = 2:1$$

Since there are 5 Xs, 3 Ys, 2 Vs, and 2 Ws, the ratio of the number of the squares labeled x or y to the number of the squares labeled v or w is 8 : 4 = 2 : 1.
