Answer: There are 5 guards on each team.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of forwards in basketball league = 32

Number of guards in basketball league = 80

We need to find the greatest number of teams possible.

We will find "H.C.F. of 32 and 80.

Since H.C.F. of 32 and 80 = 16

Number of guard would be

$\dfrac{80}{16}=5$

Hence, there are 5 guards on each team.
