the ratio of soccer ball to baseball is 12 to 15.if there is 48 soccer ball how many baseball are there

4 answers

soccer balls --- 12x
baseballs ------ 15x

solve 12x+15x=48
x = 16/9

soccer balls ---- 12(16/9) = 64/3 ????

bogus question!
both soccer balls and baseballs must be whole numbers.
You know better then to cheat Reiny.
actually I misread the question,

Now I see that 12x = 48
x = 4

so we have 48 soccer balls
and 60 baseballs

(even easier than before)
uhm I think it’s 48/60 but girl idk.
