1. There are 52 basketball players signed up to join the league. There will be at least 7 players on each team. How many teams will there be? How many teams will have more than 7 players? ​

Answer:

6 teams of 7 people, 1 team of 10 people

Explanation:

52/7=7.42857142857

This concludes that 7 teams is too much since there cannot be a fraction of a person.

6 teams of 7 people is 42 people, and with subtracting the difference, we have 10 people to fill.
