The ratio of the number of coins carlo had to the number of coins eli had is 4 : 1

What are ratios?

Ratios are used to compare quantities of different measurements

Represent the amount of coins each person by the first letter of their names

So, the given parameters are:

  • d = 2e
  • c = 2d

The ratio of the number of coins carlo had to the number of coins eli had is represented as:

[tex]Ratio = c : e[/tex]

Substitute 2d for c

[tex]Ratio = 2d : e[/tex]

Substitute 2e for d

[tex]Ratio = 2 \times 2e : e[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = 4e : e[/tex]

Cancel out the common factor

[tex]Ratio = 4 : 1[/tex]

Hence, the ratio is 4 : 1
