Answer 1

Each option: 1 Mark

Total number of students in volleyball= 45

Total number of students in football = 25

Total number of students in tennis = 100 - (45 + 25) = 30

(a) The ratio of number of students in Volleyball to number of students in football = 45 : 25 = 9 : 5

(b) The ratio of number of students in Volleyball to number of students in tennis = 45 : 30 = 3 : 2
