Question

Ms. Omar runs the school tennis club. She has a bin of tennis balls and rackets For every 5 tennis balls in the bin, there are 3 tennis rackets. Draw a model to show the ratio of tennis balls to tennis rackets write the following ratios tennis balls to tennis rackets tennis balls to total pieces of tennis equipment​

Answer 1

`T_(balls):T_(rackets)=5:3`

`T_(balls):T_(rackets):T_(equipment)=5:3:8\\\\`

Explanation:

Let x be the number of tennis balls and y the number of tennis rackets.

-Given that for every 5 tennis balls, there are 3 rackets, the ratio of the balls and rackets can be modeled as;

`x=T_(balls)\\\\y=T_(rackets)\\\\T_(balls):T_(rackets)=(5)/(3)=5:3`

Hence, the ratio of tennis balls to tennis rackets is modeled as
`T_(balls):T_(rackets)=5:3`

#The ratio of tennis balls to tennis rackets tennis balls to total pieces of tennis equipment​:

`T_(balls):T_(rackets):T_(equipment)=5:3:(5+3)\\\\\\T_(balls):T_(rackets):T_(equipment)=5:3:8\\\\`
