A community center has 3 tennis teams and 5 basketball teams. No one is on both teams. How many athletes are there?

Basketball---5 players
Softball---10 players
(3 * 2) + (5 * 5) = ?
41
31
0 Athletes
0
Or either 31
0 or 31
Which one is the correct awnser?
There are 31 athletes I know because 3 x 2 = 6 5 x 5 =25 25 + 6 = 31.
To find the total number of athletes in the community center, we need to calculate the total number of athletes in the tennis teams and the basketball teams separately, and then add them together.
First, let's find the total number of athletes in the tennis teams. Since each tennis team has 2 players, we can multiply the number of tennis teams (3) by the number of players per team (2).
Total number of athletes in the tennis teams = 3 teams × 2 players/team = 6 athletes
Next, let's find the total number of athletes in the basketball teams. Since each basketball team has 5 players, we can multiply the number of basketball teams (5) by the number of players per team (5).
Total number of athletes in the basketball teams = 5 teams × 5 players/team = 25 athletes
Now, we can add the total number of athletes in the tennis teams and the basketball teams to find the overall total.
Total number of athletes = Total number of athletes in tennis teams + Total number of athletes in basketball teams
Total number of athletes = 6 athletes + 25 athletes = 31 athletes
Therefore, there are 31 athletes in total in the community center.
