You know that the ratio of J&S to F&So is 2:3. You need two numbers that have that same ratio to total 60 players. When you multiply both numbers by 12, you have a ratio of 2:3 but the number of players is 24 to 36. Thus, the total players is 60. When looking at the ratio of Juniors to Seniors, the ratio remains 1:2, but must total 24 players. Dividing the total players by 3, you can find where 1 part of the players equals 2 parts of the others. Keeping that same ratio in mind, you are able to calculate that the ratio of Juniors to Seniors is 8:16 but when reduced, still remains a 1:2 ratio.
Answer:
d) 5/3 x
Step-by-step explanation:
You substitute a for 2c and b for 5d, so your equation will look like this:
c/d - 2c/5d = x
Then you just simplify into x by making c/d into 5c/5d so you have a common denominator.
5c/5d - 2c/5d = x
3c/5d = x
5/3 is your answer
