In soccer, players receive yellow cards when they are cautioned and red cards when they are sent off. Coach Tim has a team of 11 players, 5 of them didn't receive cautions, the rest received one yellow card each. How many red cards would the whole team collect, knowing that each red card corresponds to 2 yellow cards? Let's be accurate as possible.
In coach Tim's team, 5 out of 11 players did not receive any caution, so 11 - 5 = 6 players were cautioned. Each cautioned player received a yellow card, so all the cautioned players received 6 * 1 = 6 yellow cards. Knowing that each red card corresponds to 2 yellow cards, the team would have 6 / 2 = 3 red cards.
The answer: 3.
