Answer 1

Look below

Explanation:

(i) Sharon is not correct because in the first bag, the proportion is of red counters to yellow counters.

In the second bag, the proportion is of red counters to all the counters in the bag. Therefore the proportions are not the same.

(ii) Let x be the total amount of counters (in each bag)...

Then the amount of red counters would be

`(1)/(5) x`

And the amount of yellow counters would be

`(4)/(5) x`

For the second bag, the amount of red counters would be

`(1)/(4) x`

And the amount of yellow counters would be

`(3)/(4) x`
