Question

help how do I figure out question 1 part b?? I know the answer is 56(the answers are in the back of the textbook) but how do I show my working / figure it out ? by the way the answer to part a is 136...

Answer 1

rugby teams have 13 in the starting line up and 4 subs. That means there are (13 + 4) = 17 players on each team. And if there is 8 teams...
(8 * 17) = 136 total players

each team has 6 forwards and 1 sub forward....so that (6 + 1) = 7 total forwards per team. And if there is 8 teams....(8 * 7) = 56 forwards

Answer 2

a) 13+4 = 17 players each team

17*8 = 136 total players

b) 7 forwards per team 7*8 = 56 forwards
