Answer:
The ratio of seniors to the total team members is 7: 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us solve the question
∵ A varsity boy's basketball team has a ratio of seniors to juniors that is 7: 4
∴ seniors: juniors = 7: 4
→ That means seniors have 7 parts and juniors has 4 parts
∴ The seniors' members = 7 parts
∴ The juniors' members = 4 parts
→ Add them to find the total parts of the team
∴ The team's members = 7 + 4 = 11 parts
→ To find the ratio of the seniors' members to the total team's member
divide their parts
∵ The seniors ÷ The total =
∵ The seniors' member : The team's members = 7: 11
∴ The ratio of seniors to the total team members is 7: 11
