Sagot :


49.5 baseball

82.5 soccer

Answer:

For Part A answer is 96

For Part B answer is 21

Step-by-step explanation

Let ratio be x

number of student to choose baseball as their favor sport = 3x

number of student to choose soccer as their favor sport =8x

Total students (in terms of x ) =

                    3x +8x = 11x

Part (A)      11x = 132

                   x = 12

   number of student with soccer =  8 (12) = 96

Part B

   Number of students with Soccer = 8x (in terms of x )

                     8x = 56

                       x =7

Number of students with baseball = 3x = 3(7) = 21
