0/4 06 Fill in the Blank Text The ratio of the number of people who own a smartphone to the number of people who own a flip phone is 6:4. If 200 more people own a smartphone than a flip phone, how many people own each type of phone? ​

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

• smart phone: 600
• flip phone: 400

Explanation:

The difference in ratio units is 6-4 = 2, which corresponds to 200 people. So, each ratio unit corresponds to 200/2 = 100 people. Then the ratio 6 : 4 corresponds to 600 : 400 = smart : flip owners.

The number of phone owners is ...

600 smart phone

400 flip phone
