Asporting goods store sold 2.5 times as many footballs as basketballs last year. which statement is true?

1.the ratio of footballs to basketballs is 2: 5
2.if a total of 35 footballs and basketballs were sold, 10 of them were footballs.
3.there were 5 footballs sold for every 2 basketballs.
4.the ratio of basketballs to footballs is 5: 2.

3. There were 5 footballs sold for every 2 basketballs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of basketball = x and the number of football = y.

It is given that, 'the number of footballs were 2.5 times the number of basketballs last year'.

That is,

That is,

That is,

That is, the ratio of football to basket ball is 5 : 2.

Which means, 'For every 2 basketballs, 5 footballs were sold'.

So, option 3 is true but options 1 and 4 are not true.

Moreover, 'if there were total 35 balls sold', we have,

i.e.

i.e.

i.e. x= 10

So, implies i.e. y= 25.

Thus, for total 35 balls sold, 10 were basketballs and 25 were footballs.

So, option 2 is not true.

Hence, the correct answer is option D.

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.
