Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If the ratio is ...
A : B = 4 : 1
Then the ratio to the total is ...
A : total = 4 : (4+1) = 4 : 5
B : total = 1 : (4+1) = 1 : 5
Country A produces (4/5)×20 M carats, or 16 million carats.
Country B produces the remainder, 4 million carats.
1/4 thus B: is your answer
Simplify the following:
(1/6)/(2/3)
Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator, (1/6)/(2/3) = 1/6×3/2:
3/(6×2)
3/6 = 3/(3×2) = 1/2:
1/(2×2)
2×2 = 4:
