The weight of each pie will be 6 and 8 pounds respectively if the ratio of the seeds in these piles 3:4
<h3>What is the ratio?</h3>
It is described as the comparison of two quantities to determine how many times one obtains the other. The proportion can be expressed as a fraction or as a sign: between two integers.
We have:
A greedy hamster hoarded 2 piles of sunflower seeds. Yesterday the ratio of the seeds in these piles was 3:4
Let 3x and 4x are the seeds from the smaller and bigger pile.
= 4x + 2 (greedy hamster placed another 2 pounds of seeds in the bigger pile)
= 3x - 1/4 (ate 1/4 pound from the smaller pile)
4x + 2 = 5x
Because the quantities of seeds in those piles is in the ratio of 5:16
After solving:
x = 2
Smaller pile weight = 3x = 3(2) = 6
Bigger pile wieght = 4x = 4(2) = 8
Thus, the weight of each pie will be 6 and 8 pounds respectively if the ratio of the seeds in these piles 3:4
