2. jenna walks 12 miles in 5 days. alex walks 7 miles in 3 days. who walks more miles per day?

Explanation:

1.

Step1: Calculate balls - per - player ratio for soccer team

The soccer team buys 3 balls for every 2 players. The ratio of balls to players is $\frac{3}{2}=1.5$ balls per player.

Step2: Calculate balls - per - player ratio for volleyball team

The volleyball team buys 7 balls for every 5 players. The ratio of balls to players is $\frac{7}{5} = 1.4$ balls per player.

Step3: Compare the ratios

Since $1.5>1.4$, the soccer team buys more balls per player.

Step1: Calculate miles - per - day ratio for Jenna

Jenna walks 12 miles in 5 days. The ratio of miles to days is $\frac{12}{5}=2.4$ miles per day.

Step2: Calculate miles - per - day ratio for Alex

Alex walks 7 miles in 3 days. The ratio of miles to days is $\frac{7}{3}\approx2.33$ miles per day.

Step3: Compare the ratios

Since $2.4 > 2.33$, Jenna walks more miles per day.

Answer:

The school soccer team.
