Calculating Team A Fans

At a football match, the ratio of cheering fans from Team A to Team B is 7:5. If there are 180 fans in total, how many fans are cheering for Team A?

To solve this, you can use the ratio to determine the individual numbers of fans for both teams. Let the number of fans cheering for Team A be represented as $7x$ and for Team B as $5x$. Then, you will set up the equation:

$7x + 5x = 180$
