Question

Each soccer team has 15 players. Each player is either 9 or

10 years old. The green team has eleven 9-year-olds. The
ed team has twice as many 10-year-olds as the green
eam. How many 9-year-olds are on the red team?

Answer 1

8

Explanation:

The green team has 11 9-year-olds, so the red team has 2 * 11 = 22 10-year-olds.

Since each team has 15 players, the red team has 15 - 22 = -7 more 10-year-olds than the maximum number of players it can have.

Therefore, the red team must have 22 - 7 = 15 - 7 = 8 9-year-olds.

Answer 2

Every team have 15 players
Green team has eleven 9 years olds means other 4 players are 10 years old
And red team have twice 10 years old players as green means 2(4)=8
And red team has eight 10 years old players and 7 9 years old
