Question

Question One

There are 7 linomen, 2 running backs, 1 fullback, and 1 quarterback on an American football team. What is the ratio, in simplest form,
of the number of linemen to the total number of players on the team?
A
1:2
B.
2:7
С
7:11
11:2
Question Two

Answer 1

7:11

Explanation:

No of linemen = 7

No of running backs = 2

No of fullback = 1

No of quarterback =1

The total no of players on the team = 7+2+1+1 = 11

We need to find the ratio of the number of linemen to the total number of players on the team.

R = 7/11

or

R = 7:11

Hence, the required ratio is 7:11.
