The ratio of players to fans is 4: 20. the ratio of the number of yankee fans to red sox fans is 5: 4. there are 200 yankee fans. how many players are there?

The ratio of the number of Yankee fans to Red Sox fans is 5:4 Then there are 72 players

Solution:

Given, the ratio of players to fans is 4 : 20

The ratio of the number of Yankee fans to Red Sox fans is 5:4.  

There are 200 Yankee fans.  

We have to find how many players are there?

Now, for 5 yankee fans ⇒ 4 red sox fans

Then, for 200 yankee fans ⇒ “n” red sox fans

So, by chris cross method,

So, there are 200 yankee fans and 160 red sox fans

Then, total number of fans = 200 yankee + 160 red sox = 360 fans

Now, we know that,

For 4 players ⇒ 20 fans

Then, “p” ⇒ 360 fans

Now, by chris cross method,

Hence, there are 72 players
