Therefore, we conclude that 2/15 of the team work part-time.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a softball team is composed of 15 employees of a furniture store of whom 2 work part-time. We calculate what proportion of the team work part-time.

So, we will divide the number of those people who work part-time, by the number of people employed in a softball team. We get:

x=2/15

Therefore, we conclude that 2/15 of the team work part-time.
