Question

There are 48 cards in a pack and each card is either red or black.

Answer 1

Answer: Ratio = 2:3

Step-by-step explanation: Total no. of cards in a pack= 48 cards

Ratio of red cards to black cards = 1 : 1

That means : No. of red cards = No. of blacks cards

No. of red cards = 48/2 = 24

No. of black cards = 24

Now , 8 red cards are removed from the pack i.e. 24-8 = 16 red cards

∴Ratio of red cards to black cards = 16 : 24

                                                       = 4 : 6 = 2:3
