A sports card collection contains football, baseball, and basketball cards. If the ratio of football to baseball cards is 9 to 2 and the ratio of baseball to basketball cards is 9 to 1, what is the ratio of football to basketball cards?

53% Answer Correctly
7:8
5:6
81:2
3:4

Solution

The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 9:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 9:1. To solve this problem, we need the baseball card side of each ratio to be equal so we need to rewrite the ratios in terms of a common number of baseball cards. (Think of this like finding the common denominator when adding fractions.) The ratio of football to baseball cards can also be written as 81:18 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 18:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 81:18, 18:2 which reduces to 81:2.

86% Answer Correctly
15 mph
20 mph

speed = \( \frac{200mi}{5h} \)
40 mph
