The minimum salary for a running back is $1.35 million per year. One of the Whalers' running backs was hurt during the last game. The injured player makes $2.7 million per year. If the Whalers trade the injured player, what is the maximum number of running backs they could sign?

I think that this is what you are asking
The minimum salary paid is $1.35 million
You have $2.7million
What is the maximum number you can sign?

I am going to give you a similar question (but with smaller numbers) and then you can work out yours by yourself.
I have $8. How many $3 chocolate bars can I buy?

8 divided by 3 = 8/3= 2.66666
You can't buy 2 and a bit chocolate bars and you don't have enough money for 3 so the answer must be 2 chocolate bars.

Now you do yourown question.
