The best way to work this to add the two numbers of the ratio together (8+5), giving you 13. You should then divide the total number of cards (78), by this, giving you 6. This means that each part of the ratio is worth 6. The first ratio is 8, meaning that you will have 6x8 baseball cards. There will be 48 baseball cards. The second ratio is 5, meaning that you will have 6x5 football cards. There will be 30 football cards.
In the box, there are 48 baseball cards
