Answer 1

To find the ratio of nonwinners in group A to nonwinners in group B, subtract the number of winners from the total number of people in each group. The ratio of nonwinners in group A to nonwinners in group B is therefore 156:319.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the ratio of nonwinners in group A to nonwinners in group B, we need to determine the number of winners in each group and subtract that from the total number of people in each group to find the nonwinners.

In group A, three-fifths of the 390 people will win fuel cards, which is equal to (3/5) * 390 = 234 people winning cards. So, the number of nonwinners in group A is 390 - 234 = 156.

In group B, the same number of fuel cards will be given out, but there are 553 people in that group. So, the number of nonwinners in group B is 553 - 234 = 319.

The ratio of nonwinners in group A to nonwinners in group B is therefore 156:319.
