Answer: Ratio = 2:3

Step-by-step explanation: Total no. of cards in a pack = 48 cards

Ratio of red cards to black cards = 1 : 1

That means : No. of red cards = No. of blacks cards

No. of red cards = 48/2 = 24

No. of black cards = 24

Now, 8 red cards are removed from the pack i. e. 24-8 = 16 red cards

∴Ratio of red cards to black cards = 16 : 24

= 4 : 6 = 2:3
