How many 3D printers were donated to FIRST teams and how many FIRST teams did we donate to?

• A. 450+; 300+ FIRST teams
• B. 500+; 350+ FIRST teams
• C. 600+; 250+ FIRST teams
• D. 450+; 200+ FIRST teams

Answer: (A)

This question is about the scale of a donation: how many 3D printers were given out and how many FIRST teams benefited. The best answer says more than 450 printers were donated to more than 300 FIRST teams. That framing communicates both the overall resource size and the breadth of impact—the program supplied a substantial number of printers and reached a large group of teams. Remember that the “+” means “more than,” so these figures aren’t exact counts but indicate the order of magnitude. Also, the printers don’t have to map one-to-one with teams; some teams may have received more than one printer, which is why the total printers can differ from the total number of teams. Other options propose different pairings of printer counts and team counts that don’t align with the reported impact, so they don’t fit as well with the documented donation scale.
