9:3:3:1

that is the phenotype ratio

9/16 is gonna have freckles and cleft chin (dominant traits)

3/16 is gonna have freckles and no cleft chin

3/16 is gonna have cleft chin but no freckles

1/16 is gonna have no freckles and no cleft chin (recessive traits)

take R as freckles and dominant, r as recessive and no freckles

take Y as cleft chin dominant, y as no cleft chin recessive and substitute
