Answer (3)

Let, the number of phots be "4x" and "7x". Now, According to the question, 4x + 7x = 33 11x = 33 / 11 x = 3
Now, 4x = 4(3) = 12
7x = 7(3) = 21
So, there are 12 photos in one group and 21 photos in the another group

so you want two groups that are in a ratio of 4 to 7 so 33=4x+7x so 33=11x so x=3
that means the groups are 4 3= 12 and 7 3=21

The 33 photos can be divided into two groups with 12 photos in the first group and 21 photos in the second group, achieving a 4 to 7 ratio. The solution involves defining the groups in terms of a variable and solving a simple equation. This ensures the total number of photos matches the original quantity and maintains the desired ratio.
