Question

In a trivia game, Levi answered eight questions correctly out of 10 turns in the game. He then answered the next three questions correctly. He reasoned that because he added three to both the total questions and his correct responses, that the ratio of correct answers to total questions remained the same. Is he correct? Justify your answer.

Answer 1

Based on the fact that he added three correct questions, Levi is wrong in assuming that the ratio of correct answers to total answers remained the same.

Why is Levi wrong?

When the total number of variables being compared in a ratio changes, the ratio itself will change.

This means that Levi is wrong in assuming that the ratio of correct answers to total questions will remain the same after he added 3 questions to both measures.

The first ratio of correct answers to questions was:
8 : 10

4 : 5

After three correct answers are added, it becomes:

11 : 13

This is not the same as the first ratio of 4 : 5.
