There are 6 geese and 9 hens on Mr. Thomson’s farm. Mr. Thomson adds 6 more geese and 3 more hens to his farm. What is the new ratio of the number of geese to the number of hens
Answer
Find out the what is the new ratio of the number of geese to the number of hens .
To prove
As given
There are 6 geese and 9 hens on Mr. Thomson’s farm.
Mr. Thomson adds 6 more geese and 3 more hens to his farm.
Than
The number of geese becomes = 6 + 6
= 12
The number of hens becomes = 9 +3
= 12
The new ratio of the number of geese to the number of hens be
\(\frac{Number\ of\ geese}{Number\ of\ hens} = \frac{12}{12}\)
simplify
\(\frac{Number\ of\ geese}{Number\ of\ hens} = \frac{1}{1}\)
Therefore the new ratio of the number of geese to the number of hens be 1:1 .
