Answer 2

Answer:

                   $5:12$

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of football players = 48

Number of cheerleaders= 20

    The ration of cheerleaders to the football players is:

                                =  $\frac{Cheerleaders}{Footbvallplayers} =\frac{20}{48} \\\\ \frac{10}{24}$

                                = $\frac{5}{12}$

So, the ratio of cheerleaders to football players is

                     $\frac{Cheerleaders}{Football players} =\frac{5}{12}$

                  or

                   $5:12$
