Answer 1

`\bf\huge warrior \: fans = 35`

Explanation:

Given that :

• The ratio of Warrior fans to Laker fans at a basketball game was 5 to 3.
• If there were 21 Laker fans.

to find :

• how many Warrior fans are there.

let us assume :

• warrior fans is X .

explanation :

finding the warrior fans

⟼ warrior : laker fans = 5 : 3 = x : 21

⟼ 5 : 3 = x : 21

⟼
`(5)/(3) * (x)/(21)`

⟼ x = 5 × 7

⟼ x = 35.

⟼ warriors fans = 35.

∴ laker fans is 21 and warriors fan is 35.

∴ warriors : laker fans = 5 : 3 = 35:21.

Answer 2

35

Explanation:

Create a proportion where x is the number of Warrior fans

`(5)/(3)` =
`(x)/(21)`

Cross multiply and solve for x

105 = 3x

35 = x

So, there were 35 Warrior fans
