If the ratio is three to five then, in each "set" of kits, how many more sports kits than science kits are there?

If you need twelve more sports kits than science kits, how many "sets" do you need?

Given that number of "sets", how many of each sort of kit are there?

Please reply with your answers to these questions. Thank you!

Let X be the number of science kit and let Y be the number of sports kits. "has science kits in the ratio of 3:5 means \(\displaystyle \frac{X}{Y}= \frac{3}{5}\). What equation does "there are 12 more sports kits than science kits"?
