2) Stephanie made $400 selling cookies at the town fair. Adam made $600 selling cookies at thefair. what is the ratio of Adam's profits to Stephanies profits?

Answer 1

To find the ratio we have to divide Adam's profit by Stephanie's profit, as follows:

`\frac{\text{ Adam's profit}}{\text{ Stephanie's profit}}=\frac{600\text{ \$}}{400\text{ \$}}=(3)/(2)`
