Question

the ratio of soccer players for each football players is 4 to 1. what are two other ratios to show there are 4 more soccer players than football players?

Answer 1

4/1 or 4:1 or (4 to 1) if the question is asking for different MODES in which to express the ratio 4 to 1

 

If the question is just wanting other ratios EQUALING the ration 4:1, you could also answer with (8 to 2) or (16 to 4) or (32 to 8) as they are the same ratio as (4 to 1).

 

I hope that helps!

Answer 2

Your question appears to be phrased incorrectly.  If the ratio of soccer players to football players is 4:1 then for every 1 football player there are 4 soccer players.  For example, if there are 3 football players, there would be 12 soccer players.

The equivalent expression would be   S = 4F

 

The statement: "there are 4 more soccer players than football players" is not the same thing.  It simply means that we add 4 to the total of football players to find out how many soccer players there are.

The equivalent expression would be   S = F + 4

 

That being said:  An equivalent ratio to 4:1  would be  8:2 ,  12:3,  16:4, ...

Think of the ratio as a fraction.  4:1 = 4/1

 

4/1 = 8/2 = 12/3 = 16/4 ..., etc.
