Answer:
Team A: 25 players
Team B: 24 players
Step-by-step explanation:
Team A:
to find the total # of players of the team we need to set up a fraction. 5 out out of an unknown number of players is equal to 1/5, so we set it up as:
[tex]\frac{5}{x} = \frac{1}{5}[/tex]
then we cross multiply to get
x*1 = 5*5
x=25 players
Team B
similarly to Team A
[tex]\frac{3}{x} = \frac{1}{8}[/tex]
cross multiply to get
x*1=3*8
x= 24 players
