Number of stamps for david -- 4 x
number of stamps for Tim = 3x
after give-away,
Tim has 1.5x
David has 5.5x
ratio of Tim : David
= 1.5x : 5.5x
= 1.5 : 5.5
= 15 : 55
= 3 : 11
number of stamps for Tim = 3x
after give-away,
Tim has 1.5x
David has 5.5x
ratio of Tim : David
= 1.5x : 5.5x
= 1.5 : 5.5
= 15 : 55
= 3 : 11
