Answer 1

there are 16 track events and 6 field events

There are 22 events at an indoor track and field meet.

The ratio of track events to field event is 8 : 3.

let proportionality constant is x,

then, number of track events = 8x

number of field events = 3x

as no of track events + no of field events = 22

⇒ 8x + 3x = 22

⇒11x = 22

⇒x = 2

so, number of track events = 8x = 8 × 2 = 16
