Question

Situation: the ratio of my friends that like basketball to the ratio of my friends that don’t like basketball is 41:30. This means that 41 out of my 71 friends like basketball. 57.74% of my friends like basketball and 42.26% of my class doesn’t like basketball.

question: if the ratio stayed constant for the whole school, what would your equivalent ratio be with a new total of 310 total people?

Answer 1

17.9:13

Explanation:

I know this because in order to find the percentage of 310, you must mutiply 310 by the percentage.

The number of students who like basketball:

310 x 0.05774 = 17.9

The number of students who don't like basketball:

310 x 0.04726 = 13

Hope this helps! :)
