Question

One group (A) contains 330

people. Two-thirds of the people in group A will be selected to win $100 fuel cards. There is another group (B) in a nearby town that will receive the same number of fuel cards, but there are 509 people in that group. What will be the ratio of nonwinners in group A to nonwinners in group B after the selections are made? Express your ratio as a fraction or with a colon.

Answer 1

group A.)220/330

group B.)339/509

Explanation:

2/3 of 330 is 220 therefore the people selected in group a to win $100 fuel cards will be 220/330

same thing for group B. 2/3 of 509 is 339 so the answer will be 339/509
