A)1:8 C) 1:4
B) 1:6 D)1:2 E) 2:1

Answer 1

The answer is B) 1:6. If William has $1, Tim has 3 times as much, which means Tim has $3. Marie has 2 times as much as Tim which means she has $6. The ratio would be 1:6 William Marie.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Marie has twice as much money as Tim.

Let the William has money = $x

Then Marie will has money = $3x

And money with Marie = $6x

Now we will find the ratio of the amount of money William has to the amount of money that Marie has.

$\frac{\text{William}}{\text{Marie}}=\frac{x}{6x}$

$\frac{\text{William}}{\text{Marie}}=\frac{1}{6}$

So this ratio will be 1 : 6

Therefore, ratio of the amount of money William has to the amount of money that Marie has will be 1 : 6

Option B is correct.
