Question

Write a ratio for the following description: Kaleel made 3 times as many baskets as John during basketball practice.

Answer 1

Answer:  The required ratio is 3 : 1.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to write a ratio for the following description :

Kaleel made 3 times as many baskets as John during basketball practice.

Let John made n number of baskets in the basketball practice.

Then, the number of baskets made by Kaleel in the basketball practice is given by

$3\times n=3n$

Therefore, the ratio of the number of baskets made by Kaleel to the number of baskets made by John is given by

$\dfrac{3n}{n}=\dfrac{3}{1}=3:1.$

Thus, the required ratio is 3 : 1.

Answer 2

3:1 would be the correct way to express the relationship of Kaleel’s baskets made to John’s baskets made as a ratio.
