Question

Three out of seven soccer players wore headbands in a soccer league. A.Write the ratio of soccer players who wore headbands to soccer players who did not. B. If there were 36 players in the league who did not wear headbands, how many players were in the league brainily

Answer 1

A. 3:4

B. 63 soccer players

Explanation:

A. If out of 7 players, 3 wore headbands, then it means 4 out of 7 did not wear headbands.

Ratio of players who wire headbands to those who didn't wear headbands would be 3:4

B. Let x represent number of players who wore headbands

Number of players who didn't wear = 36

Total number of players in the league = number of players who wore headbands + those who didn't wear headbands = x + 36

Let's find x by using the ratio generated in part A.

Ratio of players who wore head bands to players who didn't wear = 3:4 = x:36

`(3)/(4) = (x)/(36)`

Cross multiply

`4*x = 3*36`

`4x = 108`

`(4x)/(4) = (108)/(4)`

`x = 27`

Total number of players in the league = x + 36

Plug in the value of x

= 27 + 36

= 63 players
