Question

There are 54 players in a beach volleyball club. Nine of the players cannot attend a game night. The coach needs to make even teams with the players. What fraction of the players in sixths are at the game

Answer 1

5/6 of the players are at the game.

Explanation:

There are 54 players.

54 is 6 groups of 9.

6 × 9 = 54

9 people are in each group. Each of the 6 groups is one-sixth of the total.

9 people are out. 1/6 are out.

5/6 are attending.

OR, think 54 - 9 is 45. 45 are attending the game.

present/total

= 45/54

= 5/6
