Question

There are 8 green tokens in the bag . The ratio of green tokens to black tokens is 4 for every 1 find the number of black tokens in the bag

Answer 1

the number of black tokens in the bag is 2

Explanation:

The computation of the number of black tokens in the bag is as followS

Given that

There is 8 green tokens

and, the ratio of green tokens to black tokens is 4:1

So let us assume the black tokens be x

So,

`(8)/(x) = (4)/(1)`

Now do the cross multiplication

x = 2 tokens

Hence, the number of black tokens in the bag is 2
