Question

James has 6 stamps in his stamp collection. Roy has 12 stamps in his stamp collection. James adds 2 stamps to his stamp collection. After James adds these stamps, what is the ratio of the number of stamps in James's collection to the number of stamps in Roy’s collection? A. 1 : 2 B. 2 : 1 C. 3 : 2 D. 2 : 3

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

Using process of elimination we know that it cannot be a,b or c because after you add the 2 new stamps james collected the ratio is 8:12 which cannot be 1:2 because 8 is not half, can't be B because 8 is less than 12, Also cannot be C because 8 is less than 12
