Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows two horizontal tape diagrams made up of equally sized rectangles. The top tape diagram is 5 rectangles long and is labeled tickets sold. The bottom tape diagram is 3 rectangles long and is labeled tickets not sold. All the rectangles are equally sized.
A baseball team has 1,200 tickets to sell. The ratio of tickets sold to unsold tickets is 5:3 . What value should be inserted into each rectangle?
To find the value that should be inserted into each rectangle, we need to divide the total number of tickets by the sum of the parts of the ratio (5 + 3):
1200 / (5 + 3) = 1200 / 8 = 150
Therefore, each rectangle should have the value 150 inserted.
To answer this question, we need to determine the value that should be inserted into each rectangle in order to represent the number of tickets sold and unsold.
Given that the ratio of tickets sold to unsold tickets is 5:3, we can calculate the value of each rectangle by dividing the total number of tickets (1,200) by the sum of the parts in the ratio (5+3 = 8 in this case).
To calculate the value of each part, we can divide 1,200 by 8:
1,200 / 8 = 150
So, the value that should be inserted into each rectangle is 150.
To figure out the value that should be inserted into each rectangle, we need to consider the ratio of tickets sold to unsold tickets, which is 5:3.
Since the top tape diagram represents the tickets sold and has 5 rectangles, we can divide 1,200 (the total number of tickets) by 5 to find the value of each rectangle.
1,200 ÷ 5 = 240
Therefore, each rectangle in the top tape diagram represents 240 tickets sold.
Similarly, since the bottom tape diagram represents the tickets not sold and has 3 rectangles, we can divide 1,200 by 3 to find the value of each rectangle.
1,200 ÷ 3 = 400
So, each rectangle in the bottom tape diagram represents 400 tickets not sold.
