Answer:

110 players are in club

110=(12×9)+2

Answer 2

The least number of children in the football club is 38.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The children from a football club are put into rows in the sports hall. when put rows of 9 children, there are 2 children left over.  When put into rows of 12 children, there are 2 left over.

First find the least common multiple of 9 and 12.

9 = 3×3

12 = 2×2×3

The least common multiple of 9 and 12 is: 2×2×3×3 = 36.

It is given that when put rows of 9 children, there are 2 children left over. Also when put into rows of 12 children, there are 2 left over.

So add 2 with 36.

36+2=38

Hence, the least number of children in the football club is 38.
