the ratio of football players , baseball players , soccer players , and basketball players in a school is 10 : 7 : 5 : 4 . how many athletes are in the school if 16 players are on the basketball team ?
the ratio is 10 football players : 7 baseball players : 5 soccer players : 4 basketball players . divide 16 by 4 to find 1 ` ` part ' ' of the ratio . 16 / 4 = 4 multiply 4 by 5 to find the number of soccer players . 4 * 5 = 20 multiply 4 by 7 to find the number of baseball players . 4 * 7 = 28 multiply 4 by 10 to find the number of football players . 4 * 10 = 40 . add them all up to find total athletes . 16 + 20 + 28 + 40 = 104 the answer is c .
add(add(add(divide(multiply(5, 16), 4), 16), divide(multiply(7, 16), 4)), divide(multiply(10, 16), 4))
