Answer 1

1/2

Explanation:

We know that each team has the following:

36Players + 3Coaches + ?Assistants = Sports League

We know that the ratio of assistants to players is 1/6, rewrite the equation accordingly:

36Players + 3Coaches + 6Assitants = Sports League

Now find the ratio of coaches to assistants:

3Coaches / 6Assistants = 1/2
