The ratio of quarters to dimes in a coin collection is 5 : 3. You add the same number of new quarters as dimes to the collection.

STEP 1: a. Is the ratio of quarters to dimes still 5 : 3?

STEP 2: b. If so, illustrate your answer with an example. If not, show why with a "counterexample."

There are 5 quarters and 3 dimes.

Let's illustrate it as  [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex]

Now adding 5 quarters and 5 dimes, we get  [tex]\frac{10}{8}[/tex].

5/3 is not equal to 10/8 hence it no longers has the ratio of 5:3 but now has the ratio of 5:4
