baseball basketball football soccer
| 45 | 14 | 20 | 21 |
Write a ratio in simplest form that compares the number of basketball cards to
the total number of cards.

Answer 1

7:50

Explanation:

The table shows the number of each type of sports card that Jaclyn has collected, so

number of baseball cards = 45

number of basketball cards = 14

number of football cards = 20

number of soccer cards = 21

total number of cards = 45 + 14 + 20 + 21 = 100

Hence the ratio between the number of basketball cards and the total number of cards is

`14 : 100=7:50`
