Answer:

3:1

Explanation:

hey there,

< We know Kaleel made 3x as many baskets as John.

We're going to make our ratio Kaleel:John.

The answer would be 3:1 because every time John makes 1 basket, Kaleel makes 3 baskets. If John made 2, then Kaleel would make 6, etc...

Sorry, I can't explain this very well! >

Hope this helped. Feel free to ask anything else.
