Answer 1

Answer:

7/9

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 54 players.

Dividing 54 into 6 gives:54/6=9teams

But 9 players are not at the game,

So 54-9=45

Dividing 45 players into teams of 6 players 45/6=7.5 that is 7 teams and 3 players

Therefore the fraction of players in sixth at the game is=7/9
