Ratio from 40 gumball red and blue for jamie and bryce one is for 1/4 and the other is 1/3
Whats the ratio form red to blue
Can you post the question again with proper capitalization and punctuation? I can't even understand the question as you posted it.
To find the ratio of red to blue gumballs, we first need to determine how many red and blue gumballs each person, Jamie and Bryce, receives.
From the information given, Jamie receives 1/4 of the total gumballs, and Bryce receives 1/3 of the total gumballs.
To find Jamie's share, we calculate 1/4 of the total number of gumballs:
Jamie's share = (1/4) * (40 gumballs) = 10 gumballs.
To find Bryce's share, we calculate 1/3 of the total number of gumballs:
Bryce's share = (1/3) * (40 gumballs) = 40/3 = 13.33 gumballs (approximately).
Since we cannot have a fraction of a gumball, we round Bryce's share down to the nearest whole number, which gives us 13 gumballs.
Therefore, Jamie receives 10 red gumballs and Bryce receives 13 red gumballs.
To determine the ratio of red to blue gumballs, we compare Jamie's and Bryce's red gumball counts with the total number of red and blue gumballs (40 in this case).
The ratio of red to blue gumballs is 10:30 (Jamie's 10 red gumballs out of 40) and 13:27 (Bryce's 13 red gumballs out of 27).
Since the ratio should be expressed in its simplest form, we can divide all parts of the ratio by their greatest common divisor, which is 3 in this case.
Simplifying the ratio, we get:
10:30 = 1:3 (dividing both parts by 10)
13:27 (already simplified)
Therefore, the ratio of red to blue gumballs is 1:3 and 13:27, depending on whether we consider Jamie's or Bryce's share.
