Question

A sporting goods store sold 2.5 times as many footballs as basketballs last year. Which statement is true?

Answer 1

Statement 3 is true because 2 basketballs times 2.5 is 5, making 5 footballs. The statement 1 and 4 are inncorrect because the ratio of footballs to basketballs is 2.5:1. It is not statement 2 because there is less footballs (10) than basketballs (25) which wouldn't make sense since the ratio has the store selling more footballs than basketballs
