Question

At a soccer tournament 121212 teams are wearing red shirts, 666 teams are wearing blue shirts, 444 teams are wearing orange shirts, and 222 teams are wearing white shirts.

For every 222 teams at the tournament, there is 111 team wearing \_\_\_\_____ shirts.

Answer 1

The answer is:

• red.

- For every 2 teams at the tournament, there is 1 team wearing red shirts.

Explanation:

As you can see, the total number of shirts in teams is:

• Red shirts = 12.
• Blue shirts = 6.
• Orange shirts = 4.
• White shirts = 2.
• Total shirts = 12 + 6 + 4 + 2 = 24

When it is mentioned that for every two shirts, one of them is red, it is mentioned that the total of red shirts corresponds to 50%, which can be verified with a rule of three:

• 24 shirts = 1
• 12 red shirts = X
• X = (12 * 1) / 24
• X = 0.5 = 50%

Therefore the t-shirts referred to, in effect are the red ones.
