- So B decreased by 238, but the number of more is negative — but since the question likely expects a positive number and may have ratio typo, but we must follow math.
- But in the context of the format, perhaps the question meant the absolute increase in a different way.
- Wait — perhaps shifts from 3:7 to 7:5 — 3:7 is A:B, 7:5 is A:B — so A increased from 3 to 7, B from 7 to 5 — so B decreased.
- Difference = Modern B – Pre-industrial B = 350 – 588 = –238
- But since the question asks how many more, and it’s less, the answer is that 238 fewer, but we must give the number as per calculation.
- However, in the context of the sample problems, likely a ratio error in interpretation.
