Answer:

24 cricket balls

Explanation:

The ratio of golf to cricket ball is 2:3 if there are 40 balls how many are cricket balls??

Step one:

Given data

The ratio of golf to cricket ball is 2:3, the combined ratio is

2+3= 5

There are 40 balls

Step two:

let the number of cricket balls be x

applying the part to all method we have

3/5= x/40

cross multiply we have

5x= 40*3

5x= 120

divide both sides by 5

x= 120/5

x= 24 cricket balls
