Answer: 2 groups of 2 infielders each, there is a total of 4 infielders on the team!

Step-by-step explanation:

 Since we know that 2 is half of the total, and to turn 1/2  into 1 (the whole number of infielders) we need to multiple it by 2, we have to do the same to the number of people of 1/2 of the infielders (2). So to get the total of infielders we need to do 2*2 (aka 2 times 2) to get the total of infielders. The groups are simpler when you get this, if one group is 1/2 of 4, which means that there are 2 groups because 2 (the first group's infielders) + 2 (the second group's infielders) gets 4. This means that we have 2 groups of 2 infielders each!

Hope this helps,

P.S Sorry if this is long, I tried explaining it without using algebra.
