Question

Samuel and Terence had an equal number of marbles. if Samuel gave 1/6 of his marbles to Terence, what would the ratio of Samuel's marbles to Terence's marbles be?

Answer 1

Answer:

5:7

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a model for both boys with 6 units in each. This is the amount of marble they each have at first. Take one unit away from one model and add one unit to the other. This is because of the giving and taking of marbles. Now, you can clearly see the ratio.
