Final answer:
The question is about determining the ratios of students participating in three different spring sports at a school and identifying the ratios as either part to part or part to whole. There are part to whole ratios comparing students in each sport to the total number of sports participants and part to part ratios comparing the number of participants between sports.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks to write the ratio of students who play each spring sport at Hillbrooke and determine the type of relationship (part to part or part to whole) that exists. There are 75 students who play a spring sport, 30 students run track, 25 play baseball, and 20 play lacrosse.
First, let's find the part to whole ratios, which compares the number of students in each sport to the total number of students playing a spring sport. The part to whole ratios are: Track to total sports (30 to 75), Baseball to total sports (25 to 75), and Lacrosse to total sports (20 to 75).
Next, for part to part relationships, we compare the numbers of students in each pair of sports. The ratios would be Track to Baseball (30 to 25), Track to Lacrosse (30 to 20), and Baseball to Lacrosse (25 to 20).
