This is very detailed as I wish to make some principles about fractions clear.

This question boils down to

A fractions structure is that of:

count

size indicator of what you are counting

→

numerator

denominator

You can not directly add or subtract the counts (numerators) unless the size indicators (denominators) are the same.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Consider  

3

Write as  

3

+

2

Multiply by 1 and you do not change the value. However, 1 comes in many forms so you can change the way something looks without changing its true value

Ede4ka [16]
Assume the normal quantity of cookies is x.

The demanded quantity by the stores now:
0.5x
The previous cost is: $4 * 0.5x = $2x

The cost of demanded quantity by the stores now: $5 * 0.5x = $2.5x

The price elasticity of demand: $2.5x - $2x = $0.5x

The ratio of the number of beads Karen had to the number of beads Patricia had was 2:5 .After Patricia bought another 75 beads,t
Andre45 [30]
We can bring the ratios to a similar form, because 2:5 is the same as 4:10 (we can mupltiply rations by the same number)

so one ratio is 4:10 and the other is 4:15 and the difference is is 75 beads

in this ratio, we can see each number corresponding to a "unit" of beads: that means that what changed is that Patricia now has 5 more such groups (15-10=5), and since she has 75 beads more each unit must be 75/5=15.

so afterwards (and before) Karen had 4 such units, that is 60, and Patricia before had 10 such units, that is 150.
