Question

There are 40 children at a park. 12 of the children are eating snacks. The other children are evenly split into 4 teams to play soccer. How many children are on each team?

Answer 1

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.
