Answer 1

To find the ratio of soccer balls to total balls, we first calculate the total number of balls.

Total balls = Number of soccer balls + Number of basketballs
Total balls = 27 + 13 = 40

Now, the ratio of soccer balls to total balls is:

\[
\text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Number of soccer balls}}{\text{Total balls}} = \frac{27}{40}
\]

Thus, the simplified ratio of soccer balls to total balls is:

\[
\frac{27}{40}
\]

So the correct response is:

27/40
