0.8 * 41 = ?
8 men
Well, well, well, looks like Team B is packed with some heavyweight champions! If 80% of the football players weigh more than 200 pounds, then we can calculate the number of players in the team who fit the bill.
80% of 41 players is 0.8 * 41 = 32.8 players.
However, I must warn you that it's difficult to have a fraction of a player on a team, so we'll need to round it.
Therefore, we can conclude that approximately 33 players on Team B weigh more than 200 pounds.
To find the number of football players on Team B who weigh more than 200 pounds, we need to calculate 80% of the total number of players.
Step 1: Find the number representing 80%.
We can do this by multiplying 80% (or 0.8) by the total number of players.
0.8 x 41 = 32.8
Step 2: Round the result to the nearest whole number.
Since we can't have a fraction of a player, we need to round the result to the nearest whole number. In this case, 32.8 rounds up to 33.
Therefore, there are 33 football players on Team B who weigh more than 200 pounds.
