Question

Ann has 3/4 as many stickers as Brenda. Brenda has 2/5

Answer 1

Answer:

A) 3:10

B) 3/10

Explanation:

A) Let the number of stickers that Corrine has be x.

We are told that Brenda has 2/5

as many stickers as Corrine.

Thus;

Brenda has (2/5)x stickers

Also, we are told that Ann has 3/4 as many stickers as Brenda.

Thus;

Ann has: ¾ × (2/5)x stickers = 3x/10 stickers

Thus;

ratio of the number of stickers Ann has to the number of stickers Corrine has = (3x/10) : x. This gives; 3:10

B) fraction of stickers Anne has to the number that Corrine has is 3/10
