Question

The bar diagram represents the ratio of points scored by the home team and the visiting team in a basket ball game. How many points did the visiting team score if the home team scored 84 points?

Answer 1

60 points.

Explanation:

Bar diagram which represents the ratio of the points earned by the home team and visitor's team.

Fro the bar diagram,

Ratio of the points earned =
`\frac{\text{Points earned by the home team}}{\text{Points earned by visitor's team}}`

=
`(7)/(5)`

If the points earned by the home team = 84

`\frac{\text{Points earned by the home team}}{\text{Points earned by visitor's team}}` =
`(7)/(5)`

`\frac{84}{\text{Points earned by visitor's team}}` =
`(7)/(5)`

Points earned by the visitor's team =
`(84* 5)/(7)`

= 60

Therefore, 60 points were earned by the visitor's team.
