The ratio of the amounts is x/24.
The amount invested in company A is unknown. The amount is represented by the variable "x". The amount invested in company B is $24. We need to find out the ratio of the amount invested in company A to that of company B. We need the answer as a fraction.
Let the ratio be represented by the variable "r". A ratio compares two numbers. A ratio expresses how much of one thing there is in comparison to another. A fraction is a portion of a whole or, more broadly, any number of equal pieces. In ordinary English, a fraction denotes the number of components of a specific size.
r = x/24
Hence, the ratio of the amount invested in company A to that of company B is x/24.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its signs:
Subtract the numbers:
The number of 11-inch softball is 70 and the number of 12-inch softball is 50.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
<u>Given that,</u>
- The cost of 11-inch softball = $2.50
- The cost of 12-inch softball = $3.50
<u>Let us assume,</u>
- The number of 11-inch softball be 'x'.
- The number of 12-inch softball be 'y'.
<u>Forming the equation to solve x and y values :</u>
- The total number of softball ordered = 120
- The total cost for 120 softballs = $350
x + y = 120 -------(1)
2.5x + 3.5y = 350 --------(2)
<u>Multiply eq(1) by 2.5 and subtract eq(2) from eq(1)</u>,
2.5x +2.5y = 300
-<u>(2.5x +3.5y = 350)</u>
<u> -1y = -50</u>
Therefore the value of y = 50.
The number of 12-inch softball is 50.
<u>Substitute y=50 in eq(1),</u>
x+50 = 120
x = 120-50
x = 70
The number of 11-inch softball is 70.
