Question

Compare the number of blue circles to orange circles. If the ratio remains the same, how many blue circles will there be if there are 25 orange circles?

Answer 1

Number of blue balls are 25m .

Explanation:

Number of orange circles 25 .

Let , the ratio of blue circles to orange circles is m : 1 , here m is any fractional number .

Now , ratio is given by :

`Ratio=\frac{\text{Number of blue circles}}{\text{Number of orange circles}}=(n_b)/(n_o)`

Now , it is given that ratio remains the same , So :

`(n_b)/(n_o)=m\\\\(n_b)/(25)=m\\\\n_b=25m`

Hence, this is the required solution .
