Question

4. There are 18 000 seats in Rogers Arena in Vancouver. At a sold-out Canucks game, there are 5 Canucks fans for every Flames fan.

a. What is the ratio of Canucks fans to Flames fans?
b. What is the ratio of Flames fans to total fans?
c. How many Canucks fans are in attendance?

Answer 1

The ratio of Canucks fans to Flames fans is 5:1, the ratio of Flames fans to total fans is 1:6, and there are 15,000 Canucks fans in attendance at the sold-out game.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves solving a proportion problem to find the ratio of Canucks fans to Flames fans, the ratio of Flames fans to total fans, and t0Flames fans

According to the problem, there are 5 Canucks fans for every Flames fan, which gives us a ratio of 5:1.

b. The ratio of Flames fans to total fans

For every 6 fans (5 Canucks + 1 Flames), 1 is a Flames fan. Hence, the ratio of Flames fans to total fans is 1:6.

c. The number of Canucks fans in attendance

The total number of fans at the game is 18,000. With the ratio of Canucks fans to Flames fans being 5:1, we calculate the number of Canucks fans as follows:

Let x represent the number of Flames fans.

The number of Canucks fans is thus 5x.

1. Since the total number of fans is the sum of Canucks and Flames fans, we have the equation x + 5x = 18,000.
2. Solving for x, we get x = 3,000.
3. Therefore, the number of Canucks fans is 5 × 3,000 = 15,000.

0.
