There are 64 players on a football team of the 64 players on the team only 40 students play defense what is the ratio of offensive players to defensive players in simplest form

3 : 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of players in the team = 64

Number of Defensive Players:

= 40

Number of Offensive Players:

= 64 - 40

= 24

What is the ratio of offensive players to defensive players in simplest form?

The ratio would be:

Number of Offensive Players : Number of Defensive Players

= 24 : 40 ( divide to lowest term)

= 3 : 5

Maths is fun! Let's keep learning

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
