Answer 2

Hello! And thank you for your question!

We are trying to find the total of all baseball & football players for all 8 schools.

Baseball:

9 players times 8 schools = 72 players

Football:

11 players times 5 schools = 55 players.

Finally add all the players together:

72 + 55 = 127 players

Final Answer:

127 players
