Question

13. A co-ed soccer team has a boy to girl ratio of 3:2. There are 15 boys on the team. What is the total number of players on the team?

Answer 1

The ratio of boy to girl is 3:2. There are 15 boys on the team. The total number of players on the team can be calculated as follows.

`\begin{gathered} (3)/(5)* x=15 \\ \text{where} \\ x=\text{total number of players in the teams} \\ (3x)/(5)=15 \\ \text{cross multiply} \\ 3x=15*5 \\ 3x=75 \\ x=(75)/(3) \\ x=25 \end{gathered}`

Total players = 25
