A debate competition has participants from three different schools: 15 from James Elementary, 18 from George Washington University, and 12 from the MLK Jr. Academy. All teams must have the same number of students. Each team can have only students from the same school. How many students can be on each team?

12 students. This is because 12 is the maximum number MLK Jr. Academy can reach. If they were to have 13 participants and above, then MLK Jr. Academy won't have enough students. For James Elementary and George Washington University, they have more than enough students.
