Answer 1

Given : Two groups

Group A: contains 390 people.

Three fifths of the people in group A will be selected to win $100 fuel cards.

So, the number of people who will win = 3/5 * 390 = 234

Group B : contains 553 people

the group will receive the same number of fuel cards

so, the group will receive 234 cards

The non-winners of group A = 390 - 234 = 156

The non-winners of group B = 553 - 234 = 319

The ratio between them = 156 : 319
