Suppose 40 out of 90 people are bowlers and 3 out of every 16 of the bowlers

have their own bowling ball. At the same rates, in a group of 192 people,
predict how many you would expect to have a bowling ball.
Please help me

Answer:

15 people

Explanation:

1. Do cross multiplying to find how many people would play bowling. x=192*40/90=85 people would play. If every 3 out of 16 owns bowling hall you should expect 85/16~5 multiplying by

3=15 people to own bowling hall
