the answer is 9:5
Rimma = x
Julia = 2/5 x
Rimma gives away 1/2 of her frogs.
Now Rimma has 1/2x and Julia has 2/5x + 1/2x=4/10x +5/10x =9/10x
Ratios are fractions so put Julia's on top of Rimma's and simplify.
(9/10 x) / (1/2x)
The x's will cancel. Invert the second fraction and multiply.
(9/10)*(2/1) = 18/10= 9/5
Ratio of Julia's frogs to Rimma's frogs is 9:5.
Julia = 2/5 x
Rimma gives away 1/2 of her frogs.
Now Rimma has 1/2x and Julia has 2/5x + 1/2x=4/10x +5/10x =9/10x
Ratios are fractions so put Julia's on top of Rimma's and simplify.
(9/10 x) / (1/2x)
The x's will cancel. Invert the second fraction and multiply.
(9/10)*(2/1) = 18/10= 9/5
Ratio of Julia's frogs to Rimma's frogs is 9:5.
