Question

On the football team, two out of every seven players are seniors. If the team has 84 players, how many of the players are not seniors?

Answer 1

To find the answer, you must then divide 84 by 7, which is 12, and then realistically multiply the numerator of the first ration. Being 24 out of 84 football players are seniors, you just subtract 24 from 84, and you get 60 players.

Answer 2

Answer: 60

Explanation:

Given : The fraction of football players are senior =
`(2)/(7)`

If the team has 84 players, then by using the MULTIPLICATION OPERATION, we have

The number of players are senior =
`(2)/(7)*84=24`

Then by using Subtraction operation , the number of players are not seniors =84-24=60
