The ratio of quarters to dimes is not still 5 : 3
Solution:
Given that ratio of quarters to dimes in a coin collection is 5:3 .
You add same number of new quarters as dimes to the collection .
Need to check if ratio of quarters to dimes is still 5 : 3
As ratio of dimes and quarters is 5 : 3
lets assume initially number of quarters = 5x and number of dimes = 3x.
Now add same number of new quarters as dimes to the collection
Let add "x" number of quarters and "x" number of dimes
So After adding,
Number of quarters = initially number of quarters + added number of quarters = 5x + x = 6x
Number of dimes = initially number of dimes + added number of dimes
= 3x + x = 4x
New ratio of quarters to dimes is 6x : 4x = 3 : 2
So we have seen here ratio get change when same number of new quarters and dimes is added to the collection
Ratio get change from 5 : 3 when same number of new quarters and dimes is added to the collection and new ratio will depend on number of quarters and dimes added to collection.
