Question

Kiran scored 36 baskets in 1 week. She scored 1/2 of the baskets on the weekend. She scored 1/4 of them on Tuesday, she scored 1/12 of them on Wednesday and the rest on Thursday. How many baskets did Kiran score on Thursday

Answer 1

Answer:

6 baskets did Kiran score on Thursday

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the statement:

Kiran scored 36 baskets in 1 week.

On weekend she scored = $\frac{1}{2} \cdot 36 = 18$ baskets.

She scored 1/4 of them on Tuesday

⇒On Tuesday she scored = $\frac{1}{4} \cdot 36 = 9$ baskets

She scored 1/12 of them on Wednesday

⇒On Wednesday she scored = $\frac{1}{12} \cdot 36 = 3$ baskets.

Then;

She scored = On Weekend + On Tuesday + On Wednesday = 18+9+3 = 30 baskets.

Rest on Thursday she scored = 36 - 30 = 6 baskets.

Therefore, 6 baskets did Kiran score on Thursday
