current:
number of girls -- 3x
number of boys --- 4x
after change:
number of girls -- 3x+3
numbr of boys --- 4x-1
new ratio of girls to boys
= (3x+3) : (4x-1)
more data needed to get numerical answer.
e.g. if we let x = 5
we had 15 girls and 20 boys, notice 15:20 = 3:4
after change:
we had 18 girls and 19 boys, new ratio is 18:19
if we let x = 4
we had 12 girls and 16 boys, notice 12:16 = 3 : 4
after change:
we had 15 girls and 15 boys, new ratio is 1:1
