Question

In a cricket tournament, the ratio of bowlers to batsmen is 5:7. If there
are 144 players in all, how many players are batsmen and how many players
are bowlers?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Batsmen-7x

Bowlers-5x

Total players-144

Then 5x+7x= 144

12x=144

X=144/12

X=12

Then batsmen= 7×12=84

Bowlers=5×12=60
