9.80

Explanation:

Given that a survey of sports fan was conducted counting no of persons whose favourite was football, baseball, basketball and hockey.

Given that 49 like football, 35 baseball, 11 basket ball and 5 hockey

We have to find ratio of football fans to hockey fans.

We find that hockey fans are 5 and football fans are 49

Ratio of football fans to hockey fans =49/5

=9.80

The ratio means if 9.80 football favourite persons are there there would be only one person whose favourite is hockey.
