A baseball team has 1200 tickets to sell the ratio of tickets sold to unsold 5:3. What value should be inserted into each rectangle?

Answer 1

The ratio of tickets sold to unsold is 5:3. This means that for every 5 tickets sold, there are 3 tickets unsold.

Let's call the value of each rectangle "x". This means that there are 5x tickets sold and 3x tickets unsold.

According to the problem, the baseball team has a total of 1200 tickets.

Therefore, 5x + 3x = 1200.

Combining like terms, we get 8x = 1200.

Dividing both sides by 8, we find that x = 150.

So, each rectangle should be filled with the value 150.
