Question

A group of students surveyed chose baseball and soccer as their favorite sport in the ratio 3 to 8 if 56 students chose soccer as their favorite sport find the number of students that shows baseball is the favorite sport 132 students were surveyed

Answer 1

21

Answer 2

3 x do baseball
8 x do soccer

so
8 x = 56
x = 7 so 3*7 = 21 do baseball

The rest makes no sense to me. I do not know what the rest of the 1322 students said.

Answer 3

let number of students choosing soccer be 8x,
and the number of students choosing baseball be 3x

8x = 56
x = 7
so students choosing soccer is 56
students choosing baseball is 21

note: 56+21 =77, so as was noted, how does the 132 enter the picture

Answer 4

You probably can just do 132-56.
