I don’t know how to explain but I can work out the correct ans
To find how much is needed for one person
280/4=70
For 10 person:70*10=700
By combining like terms, the answer is a
Since we’ve been given a ratio, 3:8, we can convert that into a fraction and form an equation from it:
= 
The reason the numerator on the second fraction is 27/3 is because the team scored 27 points, not 27 baskets.
