Solution

Step 1: Find the total number of seeds

The gardener has 12 packets of seeds and each packet contains 20 seeds. So, the total number of seeds is 12 packets * 20 seeds/packet = 240 seeds.

Step 2: Find the number of seeds in two packets

The number of seeds in two packets is 2 packets * 20 seeds/packet = 40 seeds.

Step 3: Write the ratio

The ratio of the number of seeds in two packets to the total number of seeds is 40 seeds : 240 seeds.

Step 4: Simplify the ratio

To simplify the ratio, divide both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is 40.

So, 40 seeds : 240 seeds simplifies to 1 : 6.

Therefore, the ratio of the number of seeds in two packets to the total number of seeds, in its simplest form, is 1 : 6.
