The ratio of snowboarders to skiers is 1:2. If there were 1250 more snowboarders than skiers how many skiers and snowboarders are there?


Sagot :

If we assume that x is a number of skiers, then there will be x + 1250 snowboarders. We know that the ratio is 1:2, so we can write it down as:

[tex] \frac{x}{x + 1250} = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

After cross multiply we'll get:

2x = x + 1250           / -x (both sides)
x = 1250

So there are 1250 skiers and 1250 + 1250 = 2500 snowboarders
