Of all players, 12 chose a bottle of water, which was 3/4 of the total number of players. Write and solve an equation to determine p, the total number of players at the baseball game

There are 16 total number of players at the baseball game.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of players who choose bottle of water = 12

fraction of players who choose bottle of water =

We need to find the total number of players at the baseball game.

Solution:

Let the total number of players at the baseball game be 'x'.

Now we can say that;

Number of players who choose bottle of water is equal to fraction of players who choose bottle of water multiplied by total number of players at the baseball game.

framing in equation form we get;

Multiplying both by we get;

Hence There are 16 total number of players at the baseball game.
