Answer 1

The ratio of tickets sold to unsold tickets is 5:3.

Therefore, if we let x represent the value to be inserted into each rectangle, we can set up the equation:

5x + 3x = 1200

Combining like terms, we have:

8x = 1200

Dividing both sides by 8, we get:

x = 150

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