Question

In his stamp album, Jamal has 4 new stamps and 6 used stamps. Which ratio can be represented by three fifths ?

Answer 1

Answer:

The ratio of used stamps and total stamps can be represented by three fifths.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is give that Jamal has 4 new stamps and 6 used stamps.

New stamps = 4

Used stamps = 6

Total stamps = New stamps + Used stamps = 4 + 6 = 10

We need to find the ratio that can be represented by three fifths

$\dfrac{\text{New stamps}}{\text{Used stamps}}=\dfrac{4}{6}=\dfrac{2}{3}$

$\dfrac{\text{New stamps}}{\text{Total stamps}}=\dfrac{4}{10}=\dfrac{2}{5}$

$\dfrac{\text{Used stamps}}{\text{Total stamps}}=\dfrac{6}{10}=\dfrac{3}{5}$

Therefore, the ratio of used stamps and total stamps can be represented by three fifths.
