Answer 1

11 teams & 6 people in the small group

Explanation:

138 = 11.5

12

So we can take it as 11 teams

12 × 11 = 132

138 -132 = 6

Therefore remaining people are added to small group

Answer 2

Explanation:

Divide 138 by 12.

The answer would be 11.5.

Lets leave the 0.5 right now.

So, there would be 11 teams left and the other people left will be in the small group.

Now, multiply 12 by 11. You get 132. Subtract that from 138 and you get the remainder which is 6.

Hence, the number of people in the small group would be 6.
