Question

The ratio of golf balls to tennis balls in the coach bag 20 to 5 if there are 100 golf balls in the bag how many tennis ball are in the bag

Answer 1

Hi!

The ratio is 20:5, golf balls : tennis balls.

If you want the ratio to be 100 : ?, then you have to multiply both sides of the 20 : 5 ratio to make it that. To find what to multiply both sides by, divide 100 by 20, to get 5.

Now, multiply both sides of the ratio:

20 * 5 : 5 * 5 = 100 : 25

Therefore, if there are 100 golf balls in the bag, there are 25 tennis balls.

Hope this helped!
