Question

Students surveyed boys and girls to determine which sport they liked better after completing the boy survey it was determined that for every 3 boys who enjoyed soccer 5 boys enjoyed basketball. The girl survey had a ratio of 7:1. If the same number of boys and girls were surveyed, and 90 boys enjoy soccer, how many girls enjoyed soccer.

Answer 1

210 girls enjoyed soccer

7/3 = g/90

g = 7(90)/3 = 210

there were 240 boys surveyed and 240 girls surveyed

3/5 of 240 = 90 boys who liked soccer

7/8 of 240 = 210 girls who liked soccer
