Answer
60baseballs
Explanation
Given the ratio soccer balls to basebalss is 12 to 15, this is expressed as:
12:15
Ratio of soccerball = 12
Ratio of baseball = 15
Total ratio = 12+15
Total ratio = 27
First let us calculate the total balls, this is expressed as:
12/27 * x = 48 (using soccerball)
x is the total balls
12x/27 = 48
cross multiply:
12x = 27*48
12x = 1296
x = 1296/12
x = 108
The total number of balls is 108 balls
Since baseball + soccerball = 108
baseball + 48 = 108
baseball = 108-48
baseball = 60
Hence the total number of baseball is 60.1
