Find the original ratio and compare it to the new one :)

anonymous · Answer

the answer is b but do you know how to figure this out?

anonymous · Answer

the ratio is not equal before the new students and is equal afterwards (making them different)

anonymous · Answer

Do you add the 6 to the 14 and the 8 to the 12?

anonymous · Answer

well yes but then you have to simplify both

anonymous · Answer

Oh I see.

anonymous · Answer

and the numbers when simplified are not the same
