In a soccer game, 1/6 of the players on Team A and 1/5 of the players on Team B score a goal. A total of 3 players on Team A and 3 players on Team B score a goal. How many players are on each team?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Team A: 18 players.

Team B: 15 players.

Step-by-step explanation:

Goal scored:

Team A: [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]; which equals 3 players.

Team B: [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]; which equals 3 players.

So, if 1/6 equals 3 players, what is the total, we can see this as a specific expression:[tex]\frac{1}{6} x=3[/tex]; being the variable the total number of players, solving this equation: [tex]x=3.6=18[/tex]

Doing the same process for Team B:

[tex]\frac{1}{5}x=3\\ x=3.5=15[/tex]

Hence, Team A has 18 players, and Team B has 15 players.
