Question

A total of 30 players will play basketball at a park. There will be exactly 5 players on each team. Which statement correctly explain s how to find the number of teams needed?

Answer 1

We have x teams,
There 5 players in each team.
So, 5*x players altogether.

We know also, that altogether - 30 players.

5*x = 30
x = 30 : 5 = 6

So, answer is B.

Answer 2

B) Divide 30 by 5 to find 6 teams
There are 5 players on each team. It only makes sense to arrange the 30 people who want to play and group them in groups of 5 so they can make it to 6 teams each.

I hope this helped! Have a good day!
