S has 3/5 as many members as F, So there is 42 members in S and 70 members in F.

Initially,
S:F
3:5
In the end,
S:F
5:3 -----> 15:9

Zhong Shu Hao
so there was a 12 units increase in S, and a 4 units increase in F.
So,
3 units --> 42
1 unit --> 14
In the end,
No of people in S = 15 units
= 15 x 14
= 210 people
No of people in F = 9 units|
= 9 x 14
= 126 people

Hi, why do we multiply by 3 to get 15:9?
6 years ago
Zhong Shu Hao
Because we want the final ratio to have a "relationship" with the starting ratio, where the difference between the two numbers for S is 3 times the difference between the 2 numbers for F.

Hi zhong shu hao, thank you for your kind explanation. After adding the additional members in a different ratio, the original ratio had changed. How do we explain that the relationship btw the 2 number for S is not altered with 3:1 members added?

Thanks Zhong Shu Hao. But I also cannot understand why to multiply by 3 to get 15: 9. kindly can you explain.

I used algebra to cheat a bit actually... But overall idea is that for the new ratio, 5:3, I must change it to 5parts:3parts, such that 5parts - 3units is 3 times of 3parts - 5units.

Write down the beginning and end ratio. Total is the same. Work out the equivalent ratios and you should get the answer
