answer fast plsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 36

b) 11:5

Step-by-step explanation;

a) let the number of cold stone cones be x

Since the initial ratio is 11:9

we have the ratio of the ice creams as;

11:9 = 44:x

11/9 = 44/x

11 * x = 9 * 44

x = (9 * 44)/11

x = 9 * 4 = 36

b) Now, from 36, we have a number of cold stones as 20

So the ratio now will be;

44:20

and that would be;

11:5
