To determine how many oranges are needed for the 25 netball players, we follow these steps:
1. Identify the number of players: There are 25 netball players.
2. Determine the number of oranges each player gets: Each player receives half an orange, which is written as [tex]\(\frac{1}{2}\)[/tex] of an orange.
3. Calculate the total number of oranges needed:
- Since each player receives [tex]\(\frac{1}{2}\)[/tex] of an orange, we multiply the number of players by the amount of orange each player gets:
[tex]\[
25 \, \text{players} \times \frac{1}{2} \, \text{orange per player}
\][/tex]
4. Perform the multiplication:
[tex]\[
25 \times \frac{1}{2} = 12.5
\][/tex]
Therefore, the total number of oranges needed for the 25 netball players is 12.5 oranges.
