Answer:

There are 40 basketballs and 12 footballs

Step-by-step explanation:

basketballs : footballs

10                  :3

Multiply each side by x because we need to keep the ratio the same

10x               : 3x

The total is 52

10x+3x= 52

Combine like terms

13x = 52

Divide by 13

13x/13  =52/13

x = 4

basketballs : footballs

10*x            : 3*x

10*4           : 3*4

40             :  12

There are 40 basketballs and 12 footballs
