fast answers pls

Answer 1

8

Explanation:

sum the parts of the ratio, 11 + 7 = 18 parts

Divide the number of players by 18 to find the value of one part of the ratio

36 ÷ 18 = 2 players ← value of 1 part of the ratio, then

11 parts = 11 × 2 = 22 ← number of attackers

7 parts = 7 × 2 = 14 ← number of defenders

22 - 14 = 8

There are 8 more attackers than defenders

Answer 2

8 more attackers than defenders

Explanation:

36÷18=2

2x11=22

2x7=14
