Question

On a soccer team, 11 out of 17 players surveyed say they had two or more siblings. The league has 850 players. Which is the best prediction of the number of players in the league that have two or more siblings?

Answer 1

Do this:\[(850\div17)\times11= your~answer\]The reason you do this is because it is saying 11 out of 17. That means you have to divide 850 into 17 parts, then multiply by 11. Just in case, I will give you the answer. The answer is 550. 550 players in the league have two or more siblings.

Answer 2

550 players!
