Answer: There are 12 volleyball players
Explanation:
If the ratio of basket to volleyball players is 5:2 and there are 30 known basket ball players that means the ratio can be written as 30:x.
If 30 is 5 parts (5x) and volleyball players is 2 parts (2x) we need to figure out the value of 1 part (x)
This can be done by
5x=30
x=6
Now we know what 1 part is, we can now use that two figure out 2 parts
2x or 2(6)
2(6) = 12
So the ratio is 30:12. This can be confirmed by dividing both sides of the radio by 6 to get 5:2
