12:12. simplified to 1:1

Answer 2

Find out the what is the new ratio of the number of geese to the number of hens .

To prove

As given

There are 6 geese and 9 hens on Mr. Thomson’s farm.

Mr. Thomson adds 6 more geese and 3 more hens to his farm.

Than

The number of geese becomes = 6 + 6

= 12

The number of hens becomes = 9 +3

= 12

The new ratio of the number of geese to the number of hens be

`(Number\ of\ geese)/(Number\ of\ hens) = (12)/(12)`

simplify

`(Number\ of\ geese)/(Number\ of\ hens) = (1)/(1)`

Therefore the new ratio of the number of geese to the number of hens be 1:1 .
