Answer:  The required number o baseball figurines is 105.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Jessie has a collection of  147 sports figurines. He  has both football and  baseball figurines at a ratio  of 2 : 5.

We are to find the number of baseball figurines that he has.

Let 2x and 5x represents the number of football figurines and baseball figurines respectively that Jessie has.

According to the given information, we have

$2x+5x=147\\\\\Rightarrow 7x=147\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{147}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow x=21.$

Therefore, the number of baseball figurines that he has is

$5x=5\times21=105.$

Thus, the required number o baseball figurines is 105.
