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?
(1 point)
The ratio of tickets sold to unsold tickets is 5:3.
Therefore, if we let x represent the value to be inserted into each rectangle, we can set up the equation:
5x + 3x = 1200
Combining like terms, we have:
8x = 1200
Dividing both sides by 8, we get:
x = 150
Therefore, the value to be inserted into each rectangle is 150.
