Answer:

the ratio of the sixth-grade students to fifth-grade students on the team is 7 : 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Parameters

Fifth grade students of the basket team = 8

Sixth grade students of the basket team = 7

Required;

Ratio of the sixth-grade students to fifth-grade students on the team

Let F represent the fifth graders

F = 8

Let S represent the sixth graders

S = 7

The ratio of S to F is represented mathematically by S : F

By substituton

S : F becomes

7 : 8

Hence, the ratio of the sixth-grade students to fifth-grade students on the team is 7 : 8
