1.11 In a quarantine centre, the ratio of the number of people infected with a cold virus to the number
of people recovered from it is 16:3. If 57 people were admitted to the centre, how many have ne
yet recovered from the cold virus?​

Answer 1

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

it means that

16:3=57

16x:3x=57

16x+3x=57

19x=57

x=57/19

x=3

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio = 16 : 3

Total people = 57

Total ratio = 16 + 3 = 19

people that are not recoverd = ̶5̶7 = 3

̶1̶9

= 3×16 = 48

people that recovered = 3×3 = 9

proof = 48 + 9 =57

so, the first answer is a ❌ wrong answer

RIGHT✔️ ANSWER IS 48
