Question

In a school, the ratio of soccer players to volleyball players is 4:1. Which statement is true?

A.The number of soccer players is 4 times the number of volleyball players.
B.If there are 20 total players, then 16 of them are volleyball players.
C.14 of the total players are soccer players.
D.If there are 4 volleyball players, then there are 12 soccer players.

Answer 1

A; figure that you have five players total. One of them plays volleyball, right? And four, going by the ratio, play soccer, right? Four is, well, 4 times the number of volleyball players, one. For any greater number of volleyball players, there would always be four times as many soccer players. So A is correct.
