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 ration of tennis balls to tennis rackets.

Answer 1

Answer:

$a=\frac{5}{3}b\\\\or\\\\3a=5b$

Step-by-step explanation:

let a be the number of tennis balls.

let b be the number of tennis rackets.

We write determine the ratio of balls to rackets by dividing the number of balls by the number of rackets:

$\frac{a}{b}=\frac{5}3}\\\\a=\frac{5}{3}b$

For every one ball, there 5 thirds of a racket.

We plot this function on a graph to visualize our model;
