A baseball team has 1,200 tickets to sell. The ratio of tickets sold to unsold tickets is 5:3 . What value should be inserted into each rectangle?

1 answer

If the ratio of tickets sold to unsold tickets is 5:3, then we can divide the 1,200 tickets into 8 parts (5 + 3) to find the value of each part.

Each part would be equal to 1200/8 = <<1200/8=150>>150.

Therefore, the value to be inserted into each rectangle is 150.
