Answer 2

Answer:

The ratio of footballs to total pieces of equipment = 2 : 8 or 1 : 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio:

• The ratio is used to compare two quantities.

• It is the comparison between two numbers in relation to each other.

• It compares the numbers by division. The dividend in a division, i.e., the number that is being divided is known as the antecedent in a ratio. And the divisor, i.e, the number that is dividing is known as the consequent in a ratio.

• Eg. In a group of 50 people, if 30 are men and 20 are women, the ratio of men to women can be written as 30:20. Simplifying, we can write it as 3:2. Here 3 is the antecedent and 2 is the consequent.

Given:

Number of footballs = 2

Number of baseballs = 6

Total number of equipments = 2 + 6 = 8

Find:

Ratio of footballs to total pieces of equipment = ?

Solution:

Fraction of footballs to total pieces of equipment = $\frac{2}{8}$

∴ The ratio of footballs to total pieces of equipment = $2:8$

                                                                                      = $1:4$
