Answers

Answer 1

Answer: C. There were 5 footballs sold for every 2 basketballs. to check just multiply 2 times 2.5 and you get 5. Hope this helped

Answer 2

Answer: x=number of footballs
y=number of basketballs.
then:
x=2.5y
The ratio of footballs to basketballs would be: x/y=2.5=5/2
The ratio of basketballs to footballs would be: y/x=1/2.5=2/5

Then:
if x=5;
x=2.5y
5=2.5y
y=5/2.5=2

Therefore:
The only one true statement would be:

Answer: There were 5 footballs sold for every 2 basketballs.

6/10 is greater. If you made the number under the top number equal to 100, like the other one (45/100) you would get 60/100 which is greater than 45/100. You can make fractions larger like I did by multiplying both the top and bottom number by the same number, in this case 10
