Question

The ratio of soccer players to volleyball players is 10:11. If there are 168 players, how many of them are soccer players? How many of them are volleyball players?

Answer 1

In general if we divide n  in ratio of a:b.

Then the first part we can find as  $= \frac{a}{a+b} * n$
                Second part we can find as $= \frac{b}{a+b} * n$

Ratio of Soccer Player to Volleyball player is = 10:11

If total number of players = 168.

SO the number of soccer players = $\frac{10}{10+11} * 168 = \frac{10}{21} * 168 = 10* 8 = 80$
Number of Volleyball player = $\frac{11}{10+11} *168 = \frac{11}{21} * 168 = 11* 8 = 88$

So the number of Soccer player = 80 and number of Volley ball player = 88
