What does the following sentence mean?:
"There are approximately five citations of 'inquire' to every four citations of 'enquire'."
Thank you. |

There are about five citations to "inquire" for every four citations to "enquire."
Five of every nine citations to (or mentions of) these variants are to "inquire"; the other four are to "enquire."
