Question

A soccer team has 3 freshmen for every 5 sophomores. Additionally the team has 2 sophomores for every 3 juniors. if there are 15 juniors on the team how many more juniors are on the team than freshmen?

Answer 1

2 sophomores for every 3 juniors:

15 juniors

15/3 = 5

5 x 2 = 10 sophomores

3 freshmen for every 5 sophomores.

10/5 = 2

2 x 3 = 6 freshmen

15 juniors and 6 freshmen

15-6 = 9

There are 9 more juniors than fresh men
