Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
As both are selling half of their stamps, the ratio won't change. It will be same:
Reason:
Georgia : Julie = 2 : 1
Let total stamps = x
Part of stamps that Georgia has = 2/3 of x
Part of stamps that Julie has = 1/3 of x
Total stamps = 192
Stamps with Georgia = 192 - 64 = 128
After selling half of his stamp, Georgia has = 128÷2 = 64
After selling half of her stamp, Julie has = 64 ÷ 2 = 32
Ratio of stamps after selling half of their stamps = 64 : 32
= 2 : 1
The ratio of collectible rocks Juanita owns to rocks that Aisling owns is 3:1. Aisling has 32 rocks. How will the ratio of Juanita’s rocks to Aisling’s rocks change if they both sell one fourth of their rocks? Explain.
Juanita : Aisling = 3 : 1
Let total rocks = x
Part of rocks that Juanita has = 3/4 of x
Part of rocks that Aisling has = 1/4 of x
Total rocks = 128
Rocks with Juanita = 128 - 32 = 96
After selling one fourth of his rock, Aisling has = 32 ÷ 4 = 8
After selling half of her rock, Juanita has = 96 ÷ 4 = 24
Ratio of rocks after selling one fourth of their rocks =24 : 8
= 3 : 1
