A certain ball team has an equal number of right- and left-handed players. On a certain day, one-third of the players were absent from practice. Of the players at practice that day, one-third were left handed. What is the ratio of the number of right-handed players who were not at practice that day to the number of lefthanded players who were not at practice?	Select the correct option:
A) 1 / 5  B) 2 / 3  C) 5 / 7  D) 7 / 5  E) 3 / 2

Rationale: say the total number of players is 18 , 9 right - handed and 9 left - handed . on a certain day , two - thirds of the players were absent from practice - - > 6 absent and 12 present . of the players at practice that day , one - third were left - handed - - > 12 * 1 / 3 = 4 were left - handed and 8 right - handed . the number of right - handed players who were not at practice that day is 9 - 8 = 1 . the number of left - handed players who were not at practice that days is 9 - 4 = 5 . the ratio = 1 / 5 . answer : a .
