Here are the solutions for the ratio problems:

  1. Madeline drew 6 triangles, 6 stars, and 12 circles. What is the ratio of the stars to the triangles to the circles?
  1. Identify the quantities.

    Stars = 6  
    Triangles = 6  
    Circles = 12
    
  2. Write the ratio in the specified order and simplify.

    Ratio of stars : triangles : circles = $6 : 6 : 12$  
    Divide all numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is 6.
    $$
    \frac{6}{6} : \frac{6}{6} : \frac{12}{6}
    $$
    $$
    1 : 1 : 2
    $$
    The ratio is $\boxed{\text{1 : 1 : 2}}$.
    

    2. A jar contains 30 marbles, of which 17 are blue, 4 are red, and the rest are green. What is the ratio of the blue marbles to the red marbles to the green marbles?

  3. Calculate the number of green marbles.

    Total marbles = 30  
    Blue marbles = 17  
    Red marbles = 4  
    Green marbles = $30 - 17 - 4 = 9$
    
  4. Write the ratio in the specified order and simplify.

    Ratio of blue : red : green = $17 : 4 : 9$  
    These numbers do not have a common divisor other than 1, so the ratio is already in its simplest form.  
    The ratio is $\boxed{\text{17 : 4 : 9}}$.
    

    3. A pattern has 9 blue triangles to every 6 yellow triangles. What is the ratio of the blue triangles to all the triangles?

  5. Calculate the total number of triangles.

    Blue triangles = 9  
    Yellow triangles = 6  
    Total triangles = $9 + 6 = 15$
    
  6. Write the ratio and simplify.

    Ratio of blue triangles : all triangles = $9 : 15$  
    Divide both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is 3.
    $$
    \frac{9}{3} : \frac{15}{3}
    $$
    $$
    3 : 5
    $$
    The ratio is $\boxed{\text{3 : 5}}$.
    

    4. A pattern has 4 red circles to every 8 green circles. What is the ratio of the red circles to all the circles?

  7. Calculate the total number of circles.

    Red circles = 4  
    Green circles = 8  
    Total circles = $4 + 8 = 12$
    
  8. Write the ratio and simplify.

    Ratio of red circles : all circles = $4 : 12$  
    Divide both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is 4.
    $$
    \frac{4}{4} : \frac{12}{4}
    $$
    $$
    1 : 3
    $$
    The ratio is $\boxed{\text{1 : 3}}$.
    

    5. A jar contains 28 marbles, of which 6 are yellow, 20 are orange, and the rest are purple. What is the ratio of the purple marbles to all the marbles?

  9. Calculate the number of purple marbles.

    Total marbles = 28  
    Yellow marbles = 6  
    Orange marbles = 20  
    Purple marbles = $28 - 6 - 20 = 2$
    
  10. Write the ratio and simplify.

    Ratio of purple marbles : all marbles = $2 : 28$  
    Divide both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.
    $$
    \frac{2}{2} : \frac{28}{2}
    $$
    $$
    1 : 14
    $$
    The ratio is $\boxed{\text{1 : 14}}$.
    

    6. A herd of 22 horses has 12 white horses while the rest are black horses. What is the ratio of the white horses to the black horses?

  11. Calculate the number of black horses.

    Total horses = 22  
    White horses = 12  
    Black horses = $22 - 12 = 10$
    
  12. Write the ratio and simplify.

    Ratio of white horses : black horses = $12 : 10$  
    Divide both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.
    $$
    \frac{12}{2} : \frac{10}{2}
    $$
    $$
    6 : 5
    $$
    The ratio is $\boxed{\text{6 : 5}}$.
