Question

The ratio of collectible cards Deshawn owns to cards that Stephanie owns is 5:2 Stephanie has 36 cards how will the ratio of Deshawn's cards to Stephanie's cards change if they both sell half there cards.

Answer 1

Given :

The ratio of collectable cards Deshawn owns to cards that Stephanie owns is 5:2.

Stephanie has 36 cards.

To Find :

How will the ratio of Deshawn's cards to Stephanie's cards change if they both sell half there cards.

Solution :

Number of card Deshawn had, n = 5/2 × 36

n = 90 .

Number of card after they sell half there cards :

`n_D = (90)/(2)=45`

`n_S=(36)/(2)=18`

Therefore, new ratio is
`(45)/(18)=5 : 2`.

So, new ratio will be same.
