if the ratio of home fans to visiting fans is 5:2 and all 42000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many visiting fans are in attendance

Respuesta :

Answer:

12000

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum the parts of the ratio, 5 + 2 = 7

Divide the total seats by 7 to find the value of one part of the ratio

42000 ÷  7 = 6000 ← value of 1 part of the ratio

visiting fans = 2 × 6000 = 12000
