Question

James has 6 stamps in his stamp collection. Roy has 12 stamps in his stamp collection. James adds 2 stamps to his stamp collection. After James adds these stamps, what is the ratio of the number of stamps in James's collection to the number of stamps in Roy’s collection?

Answer 1

james has 6...and he adds 2...so he has 8
roy has 12

ratio of james to roy = 8/12 which reduces to 2/3...so the ratio is 2:3
