Question

If Jake buys 3 new shirts, how many of them would you expect to be t-shirts, and how many would you expect to be collared?

Answer 1

2 t-shirts ; 1 collar shirt

Explanation:

We need to first obtain the ratio of T - shirts to collar shirts :

T - shirts = 10

Collar shirts = 5

Ratio = T - shirts / Collar shirts = 10 / 5 = 2 /1 = 2:1

Hence, using the ratio obtained ; if Jake buys 3 new shirts :

Number of T-shirts :

(Ratio of t-shirts / total ratio) * new t-shirts

2/3 * 3 = 2 t-shirts

Collar shirts :

1/3 * 3 = 1

2 t-shirts ; 1 collar shirt
