The ratio of Sam's money to Buffy's is 1.2. If Sam has $3, how much money does Buffy have? Show your work please

Answer 1

If the ratio is 1:2,

sam has three dollars.
buffy has six dollars.

we know this because the ratio is 1;2, so we can multiply sam’s amount by two, because buffy’s amount is twice sam’s amount.

ANSWER: buffy has 6 dollars!!


if you need the new ratio: 3:6
