Answer 1

A) Participation in the spring league is increasing more than twice as fast as participation in the fall league.

this is what i believe is the answer. Parcipatation raises by 11 for spring and 3 for fall, and 11 is more than twice 3. i hope this helps! :D

Answer 2

Option A is the answer.

Explanation:

Table is given as

Year 2010 2011 2012 2013

Spring league 68 79 90 101

Fall league 145 148 151 154

Now as per given table we will analyze each option given

A). Difference in spring league participation increasing every year = 79-68 = 11

Difference in Fall league increasing every year = 148-145 = 3

Therefore option A is true because
`(11)/(3)>3` Spring league is increasing more than twice as fast as fall league.

B). This option is not true because participation in the spring league is increasing nearly 4 times of Fall league.

C) False. Spring league participation is more than fall league.

D) False. Same as option C because spring league participation is more than fall league.
