Boppo is a game played by 2 teams for a fixed duration (number of minutes). It is played with 8 members of each team on the floor—actually playing the game—at all times. At any time during the game, exactly one player from each team must be off the floor-—not actually playing. Thus by taking a break, by entering the game after it starts, or by leaving before it finishes, every player on each team must spend exactly 5 minutes resting or otherwise not playing.
In the table, identify a number of players per team and a number of minutes per game that are consistent with the given information about Boppo. Make only two selections, one in each column.

Exactly one is standing and 8 are on floor at any give time. Thus, total number of people in the team are 9.
Each member spends exactly 5 minutes taking a break, thus, total time spent per team = 9*5 =45
General Discussion
Total people = 9
Where 1 is out and 8 are playing
And total break time = 9*5 = 45 minutes

Total number of players in each team is 9 because 8 are playing and 1 is resting at any point of time.
Since every player will take a break of 5 minutes, the total duration of the game will be 9*5=45minutes.

The question is asking about the number of players per team.
I was slightly confused about the wording "every player on each team must spend exactly 5 minutes resting or otherwise not playing."
I thought this meant i would need to include an additional buffer to 45 mins for a rest/time-out. But this is not the case. The clue's for this are:
- "a game played by 2 teams for a fixed duration"
- the word 'rest' and 'otherwise not playing' is used interchangeably to describe that players have to sit out whether they are tired or not, as a requirement
Hope this helps for others who were confused at the language

How is the answer now 18/45 since there are 2 teams, and 8 members of EACH team on the floor at all times. Therefore, there should be 8x2 = 16 + 2 = 18 players in total.
The question is asking for the "number of players per team" not total players in the game - 8+1=9 players per team - making 9/45 the correct choice
