Question

nimmi's collection of India stamps to foreign stamps is in the ratio 4:7. If she has 68 India stamps, how many stamps does she have.?

Answer 1

Collection of indian stamps to foreign stamps=4:7

4x=68

X=68/4

X=17

So X=17

Foreign stamps

7x

7×17=119

So rotal stamps=68+119=187

Answer 2

Let's take 4:7

4 as 4x

So 4x = 68

x = 68/4

x = 17

Let's take 7x so

x has the value of 17

So, 7 × 17

=119

She has 119 foreign stamps

So total stamps = 119 + 68

= 187 stamps
