At Coyotes' football game yesterday,
The Coyotes scored 6 points for every 1 point scored by the Rams.
The ratio of the points scored by the Coyotes to the Rams is
[tex]\text{Coyotes:Rams}\Rightarrow6\colon1[/tex]If the Coyotes scored 42 points, Let the number of points scored by the Rams be k
The number of points scored by the Rams will be
[tex]\begin{gathered} 6\colon1\Rightarrow42\colon k \\ \frac{6}{1}=\frac{42}{k} \\ \text{Crossmultiply} \\ 6\times k=42\times1 \\ 6k=42 \\ \text{Divide both sides by 6} \\ \frac{6k}{6}=\frac{42}{6} \\ k=7 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the Rams scored 7 points
