the ratio of atheletes to non atheleates are 3 to 4. if there are 225 atheleetes in the school how many non atheletes are there

300 non atheletes

Step-by-step explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Ratio of athletes = 3

Ratio of non atheletes = 4

Total ratio = 3 + 4 = 7

Number of atheletes = 225

Number of non atheletes = ?

To begin our calculations, let us obtain the total number of people present. This is illustrated below:

Let the total number of people present be T.

Number of athletes = ratio of athletes / tota ratio x T

3/7 x T = 225

Cross multiply to express in linear form

3T = 7 x 225

Divide both side by the coefficient of T i. e 3

T = (7 x 225) / 3

T = 525

Therefore there are 525 people present.

Remember that the people present are atheletes and non atheletes i. e

Total = atheletes + non atheletes

Total = 525

Atheletes = 225

Non atheletes = ?

Total = atheletes + non atheletes

525 = 225 + non atheletes

Collect like terms

Non atheletes = 525 - 225

Non atheletes = 300.

Therefore, there are 300 non atheletes present in the sch

So we first 225/3=75 so we know that that is the common x. Now we multiply it by 4 to get the non athletes. = 300 I believe
