Question

There are a total of 18 chairs. If the ratio of the red chairs tobrown chairs is 2 to 4, how many of them are red?

Answer 1

The end ratio is 3:3 I think do there are 12 red chairs

Answer 2

Answer:Of the 18 chairs, 6 are red

Explanation:

Given total no of chairs =18

Ratio of red chairs to brown chairs =2:4=
`(2)/(4)`

So there are 6(2+4) parts chair out of which 2 are red and 4 are brown

∴ 6 part equals 18 chairs

1 part equals
`(18)/(6)`

=3 chairs

Now 2 part equals 2×3=6

i.e. there are 6 red chairs
