Question

Asya has 50 brooms. Alisa has 10 more brooms than Asya. What was the ratio of the number brooms Asya has to the number of brooms Alisa has.

Answer 1

5 : 6

Alisa has 50 + 10 = 60 brooms

ratio of brooms = 50 : 60 = 5 : 6 → in simplest form

Answer 2

5:6

Explanation:

We have been given that Asya has 50 brooms. Alisa has 10 more brooms than Asya.

`\text{Number of brooms that Alisa has}=50+10`

`\text{Number of brooms that Alisa has}=60`

The ratio of the number brooms Asya has to the number of brooms Alisa has would be:

`50 : 60`

`5:6`

Therefore, our required ration is 5:6.
