Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is 35.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 : 15

7 : ?

You already know that 3 is 7 and all you need to do is find out how many tennis balls are there. First you have to find out how many times 3 goes in 15.

15 ÷ 3 = 5

Then you times that by 7.

7 x 5 = 35

I hope this helps you :)
