285$ divided by 5$ = 57, 57 would be the correct answer.
Key info-there are nine boys for every six girls on the softball team
9/6
9(3)=27. 6(3)18
18+27=45 5 more to go
if there is 50 students on each of the teams
9(5)=45
6(8)=48
As one can see,they both cannot multiply up to 50,but they round up.
I think it means check your answer and provide reasoning
