Question

There are 32 forwards and 80 guards in Leo's basketball league.

Leo must include all players on a team and wants each team to have the same number of forwards and the same number of guards.

If Leo creates the greatest number of teams possible, how many guards will be on each team?

The answer I got is 10, but i'm not sure if it is right. Help appreciated!

Answer 2

Close. The greatest common factor between 32 and 80 is 16 not 8.
32 (forwards) / 16 (teams) = 2 forwards on each team.
80 (guards) / 16 (teams) = 5 guards on each team.
