• A. 30
• B. 45
• C. 25
• D. 35

Answer 1

The correct option is A 30

Here, we have to find out the total number of players in 2 teams. We can find this using multiplication.

$15\times 2=$ ?

Let's use area model.

First, we will split 15 into tens and ones.

$15=10+5$

Now, we will multiply 10 and 5 with 2.

$10\times 2=20$
$5\times 2=10$

For the final answer, we will add 20 and 10.

$20+10=30$

This means that,

$15\times 2=30$

Therefore, there are 30 players in the playground.
