Ms. Quon discovered that 40 students liked soccer, 20 liked basketball, 10 liked football, and 5 liked swimming.

1. How many times as many students liked basketball as football?

 

2. Soccer as football?

3. Basketball as swimming?

 

Answer 1

S = number of students who like soccer = 40

B = number of students who like basketball = 20

F = number of students who like football = 10

SW =number of students who like swimming = 5

 

 

1)  B/F = 20/10 = 2  or twice as many students like basketball as like football

 

2)  S/F = 40/10 = 4 times as many students like soccer as like football

 

3) B/SW = 20/5 = 4 times as many students like basketball as like swimming
