If you have a graph 15 students like b-ball 10 like soccer and 5 like softball
Write a ratio and solve the poblem
30 = total
15/30 = .5:1 or 1:2 like b-ball
10/30 = .333:1 or 1:3 like soccer
5/30 = .166:1 or 1:6 like softball
If it says solve should I add these together or do you think they just wanted reduced ratios?
What is the problem they want you to solve?
To write the ratio of students who like basketball, soccer, and softball, we need to express the number of students as a ratio.
The ratio of students who like basketball is 15.
The ratio of students who like soccer is 10.
The ratio of students who like softball is 5.
To simplify the ratios, we can divide each of them by their greatest common divisor (GCD). In this case, the GCD of 15, 10, and 5 is 5.
Therefore, the simplified ratio is:
Basketball : Soccer : Softball
15/5 : 10/5 : 5/5
3 : 2 : 1
The final ratio is 3 : 2 : 1.
