The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of Anjali's stamps to Ishan's stamps based on the information given. Let's denote: - A = the number of Anjali's stamps - B = the number of Ishan's stamps According to the problem, we have the equation: \[ \frac{3}{7} A = \frac{2}{5} B \] ### Step 1: Cross-multiply the equation To eliminate the fractions, we can cross-multiply: \[ 3A \cdot 5 = 2B \cdot 7 \] This simplifies to: \[ 15A = 14B \] ### Step 2: Rearranging the equation Now, we want to express the ratio \( \frac{A}{B} \). We can rearrange the equation: \[ \frac{A}{B} = \frac{14}{15} \] ### Step 3: Write the ratio Thus, the ratio of Anjali's stamps to Ishan's stamps is: \[ A : B = 14 : 15 \] ### Final Answer The ratio of Anjali's stamps to Ishan's stamps is \( 14 : 15 \). ---
