Question

A baseball club has 18 players for every team, with the exception of four teams that have 19 players each. Is the number of players proportional to the number of teams?

Answer 1

Answer with explanation:

Number of Players in a team =18 player

Number of Players in four team =19 player

Number of Players in 5 teams=18 + 19×4

              =18 +76

              =94 players

→5 teams =94 players

$\rightarrow 1\text{team}=\frac{94}{5}\text{player}$

which is a fraction.

Hence, number of players NOT proportional to the number of teams.

Answer 2

No, they are not proportionate.
