Question

There are two cell phone plans that offer free minutes for each given number of paid minutes used. Courtney has Plan A, which is 2 free minutes to 10 paid minutes. Sam has Plan B, which is 8 free minutes and 25 paid minutes.

Does Courtney’s cell phone plan offer the same ratio of free to paid minutes as Sam’s?

Answer 1

No. The ratio 2:10 is not the same as the ratio 8:25.

(2:10 is the same as 1:5 or 5:25)
