1 answer

To find the total number of children who play soccer, you need to multiply the total number of children by the fraction who play soccer.

Total number of children: 240 boys + 260 girls = 500 children

Fraction who play soccer: 1/5

Number of children who play soccer: 500 children * 1/5 = 100 children

Therefore, 100 children play soccer in total.
