Answer:

100:350 simplified:
(2)/(7)

Explanation

A ratio of 2:3 means that for every item of A, we can expect of item B. Therefore, our total group is 2+3=5.

Calculate expected number of item A:


(2x500)/(5)

Expected number of item A:
(1000)/(5)

This fraction can be reduced by 5 giving you:

Expected number of item A: 200

Calculate expected number of item B:


(3x500)/(5)

Expected number of item B:
(1500)/(5)

This fraction can be reduced by 5 giving you:

Expected number of item B: 300
