1 answer:
Answer:
The correct answer is B. 3 to 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem let suppose
English = E
History = H
Maths = M
so
E = H* 2 (there are twice as many English majors as history majors)
E = M* 3 (three times as many English majors as mathematics majors)
lets suppose E=6 then,
H = 3 and M =2
So
H to M = 3/2.
