If you start by turning the numbers into an equation like the above answer you will get those answers

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
