Answer 2

Answer: The answer is one will have 8 and one will have 9 so roughly 8

Step-by-step explanation

So to start we need to add all the kids together that are playing

5+12= 17

Now we need to divide the number of kids by the number of teams that there are

17 divided by 2=8.5

So each team will have 8 but one will have nine
