Question

Fran buys socksAnd packages that contain nine pairs of white socks for every three pairs of blue socks Mia buy socks and packages with the ratio of two blue pairs do you for white pairs if the girls each bought six pairs of blue song how many pairs of white socks would they each have bought

Answer 1

Answer: Number of white socks Fran has =18

Number of white socks Mia has = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Fran buys socks in such a way that it contains nine pairs of white socks for every three pairs of blue socks i.e.

Ratio becomes

$9:3=3:1$

Similarly,

Mia buys socks and packages in such a way that it contains two blue pairs for every one white pair

So, ratio becomes

$2:1$

Now, from the case of Fran, we have given that she has 6 pairs of blue socks .

So, we get that

$\frac{1}{4}\times x=6\\=x=24\\\\\text{So, number of white socks becomes }=\frac{3}{4}\times 24=\frac{72}{4}=18$

Similarly,

From the case of Mia , we have given that she has 6 pairs of blue socks .

we get that

$\frac{2}{3}\times y=6\\y=9\\\\\text{So, number of white socks Mia has }=\frac{1}[3}\times 9=3$

So, Number of white socks Fran has =18

Number of white socks Mia has = 9
