Correct answer: B (parsed from the explanation — this source omits an answer key for this item)
Explanation
Choice B is correct. It’s given that at a particular track meet, the ratio of coaches 26 to athletes is 1 to . If one number in a ratio is multiplied by a value, the other number must be multiplied by the same value in order to maintain the same ratio. If there are x coaches at the track meet, multiplying both numbers in the ratio by 26 26 26 x yields 1^xh to ^xh, or x to x. Therefore, the expression x represents the number of athletes at the track meet. Choice A is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors. Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors. Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
