Answer:
a. 3:4
b) 63 players
Explanation:
From the question, we know that: Three out of seven soccer players wore headbands in a soccer league.
This means Number of soccer players who did not wear head bands = 7 - 3
= 4
a. Write the ratio of soccer players who wore headbands to soccer players who did not.
Soccer player who wore headbands : Soccer players who did not
= 3:4
b. If there were 36 players in the league who did not wear headbands, how many players were in the league?
Soccer player who wore headbands : Soccer players who did not
= 3:4
36 players in the league who did not wear headbands
Hence, number of players in the league who wore head bands is calculated as:
3/4 = x/36
Cross Multiply
4x = 3 × 36
x = 3 × 36/4
x = 27
The total number of players in the league
= 27 + 36
= 63 players
