​

Answer 1

Answer:

hope this helps you

Step-by-step explanation:

So what you need to do is find how many matches they played. To find that you plug the numbers into to fractions times each other.

It would be 120/x times 45/100. Then you would cross multiply to get 45x=12000

Then you would divide 12000 by 45 to get x alone

That would give you x=267

So your answer would be 267 matches played

Answer 2

45/100=120/x

Cross multiply: 45x=12000

X=12000/45 answer comes in decimal.

Ans= 266.66...

Rounded off coz football matches should be in whole number.

Total matches played=267
