Answer
Since 2 midfielders are ⅓ of all the midfielders, there are 3 groups of 2 midfielders. By adding the midfielders in each group, I know the total number of midfielders on the team is 6.
Step-by-step explanation
Let the total number of midfielders on the baseball team be x
Amy and Thea make up ⅓ of the midfielders on the baseball team.
In mathematical terms,
⅓ of x = (Amy and Thea)
Since Amy and Thea are just 2 players, and they make up ⅓ of all midfielders,
This means that Amy and Thea form 1 group out of 3 groups (⅓) of midfielders.
To find the rest,
⅓ of x = 2
⅓ × x = 2
(x/3) = 2
Multiply both sides by 3
x = 2 × 3
x = 6 midfielders.
With 3 groups, and 6 midfielders in all, then, there are 2 midfielders in each group.
Hope this Helps!!!
