Max : Victor : Roman
3 : 2 : 4

MaX 3x
Victor 2x
Roman 4x


Victor gave 1/4 of his to Roman.
Max 3x
Victor 2x-(2x)/4
Roman 4x+(2x)/4 

Max     3x=6x%2F2
Victor  2x-x%2F2=%283%2F2%29x
Roman   4x%2Bx%2F2=8x%2F2%2Bx%2F2=9x%2F2=%289%2F2%29x




New Ratio  Max:Victor:Roman
      6 : 3  :  9
      2 : 1  :  3

The ratio of the amount of rice Max has to the amount of rice Victor has rice to the amount of rice Roman has is 3:2:4. If Victor gives 1/4 of his rice to Roman, what will the new ratio of the amounts of Max’s rice to Victor’s rice to Roman’s rice be?
Correct answer: highlight_green%282%3A1%3A3%29

Never accept answers from the other person, if you don't know that by now!



WRONG, WRONG, WRONG =====> 12  :  9  :   19 

                          Max  : Victor :  Roman   <========= WRONG, WRONG, WRONG

Nothing said before makes any sense either!
