Question

Can someone help me with this? (The ratio of 7th grade students to 8th grade students in a soccer league is 17:23. If there are 200 students in all, how many are in the 7th grade league?)

Answer 1

85

Explanation:

You add 17 and 23 and you get 40 so 40=200 and divide 40 and 200 by 5 and so 1/40 =5 so 5x17=85.

sorry if I got it wrong I'm trying.
