Complete Question

The little league team called the Hawks has 7 brunettes, 5 blonds, and 2 red heads.

The entire little league division that The Hawks belong to has the same ratio of redheads to everyone else.

What is the total number of redheads in that division if the total number of players is 126?

Answer:

18 red heads

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told:

The little league team called the Hawks has 7 brunettes, 5 blonds, and 2 red heads.

Hence, we have the ratio

7: 5: 2

Adding up the ratios together

7 + 5 + 2

= 14

The total number of players is 126

Hence, the total number of redheads in that division is

2/14 × 126

= 18 red heads.
