5 : 12

Explanation:

Cheerleaders : football players

20 : 48

5 : 12

Answer 2

`5:12`

Explanation:

Number of football players = 48

Number of cheerleaders= 20

The ration of cheerleaders to the football players is:

=
`(Cheerleaders)/(Footbvallplayers) =(20)/(48) \\\\ (10)/(24)\\`

=
`(5)/(12)`

So, the ratio of cheerleaders to football players is

`(Cheerleaders)/(Football players) =(5)/(12)`

or

`5:12`
