To determine if Fabio's statement is correct, we need to compare the number of players on the basketball team to the number of players on the tennis team.
According to the information given:
- Tennis team: 2 players
- Basketball team: 5 players
Therefore, let's check if there are 3 times as many people on the basketball team as on the tennis team:
3 x 2 (number of tennis players) = 6
Since there are 5 players on the basketball team, not 6, Fabio's statement is incorrect. There are not 3 times as many people on the basketball team as on the tennis team.
To determine whether Fabio is correct about there being 3 times as many people on a basketball team as on a tennis team, we can compare the number of players on each team.
According to the information provided, there are 2 players on a tennis team and 5 players on a basketball team.
To find out if Fabio is correct, we need to determine if the number of basketball players is indeed three times the number of tennis players.
To do this, we can multiply the number of tennis players (2) by 3.
2 players x 3 = 6 players
Since the product is 6 and the number of basketball players is 5, we can conclude that Fabio's statement is incorrect. There are not 3 times as many people on a basketball team as on a tennis team.
