Alex owns three times as many brown shoes as red shoes, twice as many
black shoes as brown shoes, and four times as many white shoes as red
shoes. What is the ratio of the number of white shoes to the number of black
shoes he owns?

Respuesta :

The ratio of the number of white shoes to the number of black

shoes Alex owns is 2:3

Let the number of red shoes be x

Then from the given information, we know that

brown shoes = 3 times red shoes = 3x

black shoes = 2 times brown shoes = 2(3x)= 6x

white shoes = 4times  red shoes = 4x

We need to find the ratio between the number of white shoes and the number of black shoes owned by Alex

So, the ratio of the number of white shoes to the number of black

shoes he owns is number of white shoes : number of black shoes

= 4x: 6x

which can be simplified as 2: 3
