There were some coins in Packet H and Packet J. After Albert transferred
13 of the coins from Packet H to Packet J, the ratio of the number of coins in Packet H to that in Packet J changed to 3 : 7. Find the ratio of the numbers of coins in Packet J to the number of coins in Packet H at first.
|
Packet H |
Packet J |
Before |
3x3 = 9 u |
11 u |
Change |
- 1x3 = - 3 u |
+ 3 u |
After |
2x3 = 6 u |
|
Comparing Packet H and Packet J in the end |
3x2 = 6 u |
7x2 = 14 u |
The number of coins in Packet H in the end is repeated. Make the number of coins in Packet H in the end the same. LCM of 2 and 3 is 6.
At first
Packet J : Packet H
11: 9
Answer(s): 11: 9
