At a soccer tournament, 12 teams are wearing red shirts, 6 teams are wearing blue shirts, 4 teams are wearing orange shirts, and 2 teams are wearing white shirts.
For every 2 teams at the tournament, there is 1 team wearing (Blank) shirts.
Choose 1 answer:
A. Red
B. Blue
C. Orange
D. White
When you add 12, 6, 4 and 2, you will get 24. 12 of the 24 teams wear red shirts, so for every 2 teams there would be 1 team wearing red.
that is the correct answer thank you so much
To determine which answer choice corresponds to the number of teams wearing a certain color of shirts, we need to divide the total number of teams by 2.
Total number of teams = 12 + 6 + 4 + 2 = 24
Dividing the total number of teams by 2, we get:
24 ÷ 2 = 12
This means that for every 2 teams at the tournament, there is 1 team wearing red shirts. Therefore, the answer is:
A. Red
To determine the answer, we need to calculate the ratio of the number of teams to the number of shirts.
First, we add up the number of teams for each color shirt:
Red shirts: 12 teams
Blue shirts: 6 teams
Orange shirts: 4 teams
White shirts: 2 teams
Next, we calculate the total number of teams at the tournament:
Total teams = 12 + 6 + 4 + 2 = 24 teams
Now, we need to determine the ratio of the number of teams to the number of shirts. Since the ratio is every 2 teams to 1 team wearing a certain color shirt, we divide the total number of teams by 2:
Total teams / 2 = 24 / 2 = 12
Now, we compare the calculated ratio to the number of teams wearing each color shirt:
Red shirts: 12 teams
Blue shirts: 6 teams
Orange shirts: 4 teams
White shirts: 2 teams
We can see that the number of red shirts matches the calculated ratio of 12, while the numbers of blue, orange, and white shirts do not match the calculated ratio. Therefore, the answer is A. Red.
