Question

There was too many things to handle that amount so now I started reading it I got straight up confused I’m sorry I’m asking for so much and just write the answers within the sentence so like restate the sentence with the answers in it

Answer 1

Sorry, can't make a sentence, I can only give explanations. The choices would be nice though.

Explanation:

(Note: this is from my point of view and I used a solution that was thought to me, and since you haven't given the choices, I will be going in blind)

Step 1: Write it into a fraction (or ratio, depends on what you like)

`(5)/(2)`

Step 2: I would divide 45 by 5 to get the number that I will multiply the denominator with, after multiplying the denominator, you simply have to reconstruct to get the answer.

45 ÷ 5 = 9

9 x 2 = 18

Since there are 45 students that play golf, there are 18 students who play cricket.

Answer: 45 Students that play golf : 18 Students that play cricket

Another solution that I think was the one that is being explained here:

Step 1: Rewrite both into a fraction

`(5)/(2)` =
`(45)/(x)`

Step 2: Cross multiply

`(90)/(5x)`

Step 3: Simplify

`(90)/(5x)` ÷
`(5)/(5)` =
`(18)/(x)` or 18 = x

x = 18
