Answer:

Total number of chips Caleb have = 8

Total number of chips Suzanne have = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

In Caleb case -

Three out of every four chips is blue

⇒ If Caleb has total chips = 4

Then Blue chips = 3

⇒White chips = 4 - 3 = 1

Now,

If Caleb have 6 blue chips

⇒3 Blue chips = 4 total chips

  1 Blue chip = \frac{4}{3} total chips

⇒6 blue chips = \frac{4}{3} ×6 = 4×2 = 8 total chips

∴ we get

Number of chips become = 8

In Suzanne case -

One out of every five chips are blue.

⇒ If Suzanne has total chips = 5

Then Blue chips = 1

⇒White chips = 5 - 1 = 4

Now,

If Suzanne have 6 blue chips

⇒1 Blue chips = 5 total chips

⇒6 blue chips = 5×6 = 30 total chips

∴ we get

Number of chips become = 30
