Asporting goods store sold 2.5 times as many footballs as basketballs last year. which statement is true?
1.the ratio of footballs to basketballs is 2: 5
2.if a total of 35 footballs and basketballs were sold, 10 of them were footballs.
3.there were 5 footballs sold for every 2 basketballs.
4.the ratio of basketballs to footballs is 5: 2.

Statement 3 is true because 2 basketballs times 2.5 is 5, making 5 footballs. The statement 1 and 4 are inncorrect because the ratio of footballs to basketballs is 2.5:1. It is not statement 2 because there is less footballs (10) than basketballs (25) which wouldn't make sense since the ratio has the store selling more footballs than basketballs
