Answer 2

Answer:

There are 210 students who run track and 98 students who play baseball.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to approach the question this way; the students who play the two sports are grouped.

Let X be the number of groups. So that, from the question, we can deduce that;

There are 15 students in one group of those who run track and there are 7 students in each group of those who play baseball.

Total number of students who run track = 15 × X = 15X

Total number of students who play baseball = 7 × X = 7X

Now, the difference in the two total numbers is 112 as given in the question, so we can write that;

15X - 7X = 112

8X = 112

X = $\frac{112}{8}$ = 14

So,

Total number of students who run track = 15 × X = 15 × 14 = 210

Total number of students who play baseball = 7 × X = 7 × 14 = 98

There are 210 students who run track and 98 students who play baseball
