Question

4) Students surveyed boys and girls separately to determine which sport they enjoyed watching the most. After completing the boy survey, it was determined that for every 2 boys who enjoyed baseball, 5 boys enjoyed basketball. The girl survey had a ratio of the number of girls who enjoyed baseball to the number of girls who enjoyed basketball of 6:1. If the same number of boys and girls were surveyed and 84 boys enjoyed baseball, how many girls enjoy each sport? Use a double tape diagram to show your work.

Answer 1

I used a little bit of the question i am on Right Now but the answer is in there somewhere

Explanation:

ratio for boys: 3 soccer/5 basketball

ratio for girls: 7 soccer/1 basketball (I think you have a typo when you say "...number of boys who enjoyed basketball

of 7:1" because boys and girls were surveyed separately.)

that said...

90 boys enjoy soccer

3*30/5*30=90 boys enjoy soccer/150 boys enjoy basketball

90+150=240 boys and therefore 240 girls

7/1 is the ratio for girls

7+1=8, 240/8=30

7*30/1*30=210 girls enjoy soccer/30 girls enjoy basketball (210+30=240)
