Question

Ann has 3/4 as many stickers as Brenda. Brenda has 2/5

as many stickers as Corrine

a) Find the ratio of the number of stickers Ann has to the number of stickers Corrine has
b) What fraction of the number of stickers Ann has is the number of stickers
Cornine has?
​

Answer 1

A) 3:10

B) 3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Let the number of stickers that Corrine has be x.

We are told that Brenda has 2/5

as many stickers as Corrine.

Thus;

Brenda has (2/5)x stickers

Also, we are told that Ann has 3/4 as many stickers as Brenda.

Thus;

Ann has: ¾ × (2/5)x stickers = 3x/10 stickers

Thus;

ratio of the number of stickers Ann has to the number of stickers Corrine has = (3x/10) : x. This gives; 3:10

B) fraction of stickers Anne has to the number that Corrine has is 3/10
