To find the ratio of purple flowers to white flowers, follow these steps:

1. Identify the given quantities:
- Number of purple flowers: 669
- Number of white flowers: 221

2. Calculate the ratio:
- The ratio is calculated by dividing the number of purple flowers by the number of white flowers.

3. Perform the division:
- [tex]\(\text{ratio} = \frac{669}{221}\)[/tex]
- Dividing 669 by 221, we get approximately [tex]\(3.0271493212669682\)[/tex].

Therefore, the ratio of purple flowers to white flowers is approximately [tex]\(3.0271493212669682 : 1\)[/tex].
