How many seniors are on the team now.

Question

At the beginning of summer, there are 5 juniors for every 2 seniors. After several injuries, the ratio was 4:3. If there are 48 Juniors on the team. How many seniors began summer training.

Answer 1

4 to 3 ratio....

(4/7) are juniors and (3/7) are seniors...

juniors:

(4/7) X = 48

X = (48)(7/4) = 12*7 = 84 students altogether

(4/7)(84) = 48

seniors:

(3/7)*84 = 3*12 = 36

48/36 = 4/3
