Answer:

7/6 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Mug is 2/7 full

Amount of water in the mug = 1/3 cup

Assume the full capacity of the mug = m

Then the current capacity of water in mug = (2/7) of m = (2/7)m

Current capacity of water in mug is equivalent to 1/3 cup of water

Hence,

(2/7)m = 1/3

2m/7 = 1/3

Cross multiply

(2m * 3) = 7 * 1

6m = 7

m = 7/6

m = 1 1/6 cups

Using the combination formula, it is found that there are 47,040 ways to form a soccer team.

<h3>What is the combination formula?</h3>

Each of the different groups or selections can be formed by taking some or all of a number of objects, irrespective of their arrangments is called a combination.

$^mC_k = \dfrac{m!}{k! \times (m-k)!}$

A soccer team consisting of 3 forwards, 4 midfield players, and 3 defensive players, if the players are chosen from 8 forwards, 6 midfield players and 8 defensive players

Since they are independent of each other, the total number of combinations will be;

$^mC_k = \dfrac{8!}{3! \times (5)!} \times \dfrac{6!}{4! \times (2)!} \times \dfrac{8!}{3! \times (5)!} \\\\^mC_k =47,040$

Hence, There are 47,040 ways to form a soccer team.
