A group of 24 students have recess together. They are making teams to play a game. Each team has to have exactly 5 players, and no one can be than one team. How many teams can they make? ( it is possible that not everyone can be on a team.)​

They can make 4 teams and have 4 players that won’t be in a team.

This is because 5*5 is 25 but they don’t have 25 players so you would have to go down which is 4*5=20. Sorry if that’s very confusing but hope that helps!
