PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

All you are basically doing is making ratios.
Basketball to football would be 5 to 11 or 5:11 or 5/11.
What you do is in the order you said it (basketball to football) you find that info and make it a ratio. A ratio must be simplified and can be written 3 ways, as shown above.

Hockey to lacrosse would be 6 to 10 and simplified would be 3 to 5.

Try doing 3 and 4 and 5 on your own to help you understand it more:) if you have any questions tell me.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Consider the provided table.

We need to write the ratio in the form of a/b.

1. Basketball to football

According to the table;

Number of players in basketball is 5.

Number of players in Football is 11.

The ratio of Basketball to football is:

`(5)/(11) =0.4545...`

Thus, the decimal is repeating.

2. Hockey to lacrosse players

According to the table;

Number of players in Hockey is 6.

Number of players in Lacrosse is 10.

The ratio of Hockey to lacrosse players is:

`(6)/(10) =0.6`

Thus, the decimal is terminating.

3. Polo to football players

According to the table;

Number of players in polo is 4.

Number of players in Football is 11.

The ratio of Polo to football players is:

`(4)/(11) =0.3636...`

Thus, the decimal is repeating.

4. lacrosse to rugby players

According to the table;

Number of players in Lacrosse is 10.

Number of players in rugby is 15.

The ratio of lacrosse to rugby players is:

`(10)/(15) =0.666....`

Thus, the decimal is repeating.

5. football players to soccer players

According to the table;

Number of players in Football is 11.

Number of players in soccer is 11.

The ratio of football players to soccer players is:

`(11)/(11) =1`

Thus, the decimal is terminating.
