Question

Each baseball team in a baseball league has 14 players. A total of 56 players signed up to play. If t represents the number of teams in the league, which statement is true?

A. Since 14t =56, there are 4 teams in the league.
B. Since 14= 56/t, there are 8 teams in the league.

Answer 1

A is the answer because 14x4=56

Answer 2

A is true

Explanation:

Each baseball team in a baseball league has 14 players.

For a team of baseball = 14 players

For 2 team of baseball = 14 x 2 = 28 players

For t number of of team = 14 x t = 14t players.

But total number of players that signed up to play is 56

Therefore, 14t must be equal to 56

14t = 56 ( True equation)

Now we will solve for t

Divide both sides by t

t = 4

From 56 players we can make 4 teams.

Hence, A is true statements.
