Question

plz explain the question

the ratio of bowler to batsman is 5:7. if there were 144 players in all, how many players are batsman and how many players are Bowler ?​

Answer 1

Answer: Multiply both the ratio by x so we get,

Number of bowler = 5x

Number if batsmen = 7x

Now,

5x + 7x = 144

12x = 144

x = 12

So,

Number of bowlers = (5)(12)

                                =60

Number of batsmen = (7)(12)

                                 =84
