Question

Doug collects baseball and football cards. He has 5 baseball cards in his collection for every 4 football cards. If Doug has 68 football cards in his collection, how many baseball cards does he have?

Answer 1

Answer: 85 baseball cards
Explanation: If Doug has 5 baseball cards for every four football cards, that means he has 125%, or 1.25x as many baseball cards as basketball cards at any given moment. If he has 68, we can multiply 68 by 1.25 and get 85 baseball cards
