Final answer:
After subtracting the 12 children eating snacks from the total of 40, dividing the remaining 28 by 4 yields 7 children on each soccer team.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks us to determine how many children are on each soccer team after dividing the children who are not eating snacks into 4 even teams.
There are 40 children in total, and 12 are eating snacks, which means there are 40 - 12 = 28 children available to play soccer.
To find out how many children are on each team, we divide the 28 children by the 4 teams, which results in 28 / 4 = 7 children per team.
