Number Sense Fabio said that there are 3 times as many people on a basketball team as on a tennis team. Is he correct? Explain why or why not.
Tennis--2 players
Basketball--5 players
Softball--10 players
3 times 2 doesn't equal 5 is another way to say it.
2+5+10= 17
No because 3x2=6
he's incorrect because 2 x 3 doesn't equal 5, it actually equals 6.
no because 2*3 is 6
6>5
