Question

A football team has a squad of 24 players,

Answer 1

Answer:

1/3.

Step-by-step explanation

1/12 * 24 = 2 players suspended leaving 22 players.

So the number injured = 22 - 14 = 8.

Fraction injured = 8/24 = 1/3.

Answer 2

Answer: 1/3

Explanation:

1/12 of the squad are suspended:

1/12 x 24 = 24/12 = 2

So 2 player are suspended

24 - 2 = 22 player

And some are injured leaving 14 left to play:

22 - 14 = 8 players injured

So 8/24 is the fraction of injured player.

But 8/24 = 1/3 so we can say 1/3 of the whole squad are injured.
