Question

a football game has 13 fans for every 7 players. if there are 540 more fans than players. how many players are there

Answer 1

For this problem, we can set up an equation. We will represent how many players there are as x. This is what our equation would look like:

13/7 = 540/x

Now we can multiply both sides by x:

13x/7 = 540

Now we multiply both sides by 7:

13x = 91

Now we simplify and divide 13 from both sides to get our final answer:

x = 7
