Question

At a basketball game, for every basket team A scored, team B scored 4 baskets. The ratio of the number of baskets scored by team A to the number of baskets for team B is A. 1 to 3
B. 2 to 3
C. 1 to 4
D. 4 to 1

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 1 to 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is used to describe situations like "for how many x's, there are many y's". In this case, we are trying to find the ratio for A baskets scored to B baskets scored, team A scores one basket, then team B will score 4 baskets. Then we can write the ratio of A to B as 1:4, which is 1 to 4.

Hope I did this correctly since it was long ago that I lastly worked with ratios
