Question

The ratio of collectible coins Juanita owns to coins that Elia owns is 3:1. Elia has 32 coins. How will the ratio of Juanita’s coins to Elia’s coins change if they both sell one fourth of their coins? Explain.

Answer 1

Hi there Maebe, since the ratio is 3:1 your answer is 96.

The ratio 3:1 is just saying Juanita has 3 times whatever Elita has. So, Elita’s 32 times 3 equals 96. :) I hope I’ve helped you. Please give me feedback if you need more help understanding!
