Question

If each of the 16 players on a baseball squad plays for the same amount of time, how many minutes does each play in an 80-minute game? (9 players play for the team at anyone time.)

Answer 1

45 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

If 9 players are playing for the team at any time, the total amount of time in an 80-minute game is

9 x 80 min = 720 minutes

So, including the 9 players, there are 720 minutes to play. Then, there are 16 players, so the amount of time that each one play is

720 min/ 16 players = 45 min

Therefore, the answer is 45 minutes
