Question

Chris has 96 local and foreign stamps altogether in his collection. The ratio of the number of local stamps to foreign stamps is 1 : 3. How many local stamps does Chris have?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Chris have 24 local stamps

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that  The ratio of the number of local stamps to foreign stamps is 1 : 3.

Let the ratio be x

Number of local stamps = x

Number of foreign stamps = 3x

Total Number of stamps =x+3x=4x

We are given that Chris has 96 local and foreign stamps altogether in his collection

So, 4x=96

$x=\frac{96}{4}$

x=24

Hence Chris have 24 local stamps
