1. In Suri's coin purse she has 6 dimes and
4 quarters. Martha has 5 dimes and
3 quarters. Suri thinks that the ratio of dimes
to quarters in both purses is the same
because they each have 2 more quarters
than dimes. Is the same ratio of dimes to
quarters maintained? Justify your response.

Answer:

The ratios are not equal

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of dimes

y ----> the number of quarters

we know that

Suri's coin purse

x=6, y=4

The ratio of dimes  to quarters is

[tex]\frac{x}{y} =\frac{6}{4}[/tex]

Martha's coin purse

x=5, y=3

The ratio of dimes  to quarters is

[tex]\frac{x}{y} =\frac{5}{3}[/tex]

Compare the ratios

[tex]\frac{6}{4}=\frac{5}{3}\\6(3)=4(5)\\18\neq 20[/tex]

therefore

The ratios are not equal
