Answer:

  • A: 252 thousand
  • B: 84 thousand

Step-by-step explanation:

If the population ratio of A : B is 3 : 1, then state A has 3/(3+1) = 3/4 of the 336 thousand Native Americans.

  (3/4) × 336 thousand = 252 thousand . . . . in state A

State B has the remaining amount:

  (1/4) × 336 thousand = 84 thousand . . . . in state B
