Answer:

  8 people

Step-by-step explanation:

If 20 of 140 people play tennis, then in a group of 504 people, we expect ...

  (20/140) × 504 = 72 . . . . tennis players

If 1 of 9 tennis players has a coach, then in a group of 72 tennis players, we expect ...

  (1/9) × 72 = 8 . . . . have a coach

We expect 8 of the 504 people have a tennis coach. We made this prediction by applying the given rates to the larger group.
