All you are basically doing is making ratios. Basketball to football would be 5 to 11 or 5:11 or 5/11. What you do is in the order you said it (basketball to football) you find that info and make it a ratio. A ratio must be simplified and can be written 3 ways, as shown above.
Hockey to lacrosse would be 6 to 10 and simplified would be 3 to 5.
Try doing 3 and 4 and 5 on your own to help you understand it more:) if you have any questions tell me.
