Question

Uncle Drew scored 28 points in 5 5/6 minutes during a game of basketball.How many points did he average per minute during that 5 5/6 minutes

Answer 1

Answer:  Uncle Drew's average rate is given by

$\frac{24}{5}=4\frac{4}{5}\ points\ per\ minute$

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Total point Uncle Drew scored = 28

Time taken to score above points during a game of basketball is given by

$5\frac{5}{6}\ minutes=\frac{35}{6}\ minutes$

Now, average points per minute during a game of basketball is given by

$\frac{28}{\frac{35}{6}}=\frac{28\times 6}{35}=\frac{24}{5}$

So, Uncle Drew's average rate is given by

$\frac{24}{5}=4\frac{4}{5}\ points\ per\ minute$

Answer 2

Answer: $\frac{24}{5}\text{points per minute}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The total points scored by Uncle Drew= 28

Time taken by him to draw the points =$5\frac{5}{6}=\frac{35}{6}\text{ minutes}$

Now, the average points scored by him is given by :-

$\text{Average}=\frac{\text{Total points}}{\text{Time}}\\\\=\frac{28}{\frac{35}{6}}\\\\\frac{28\times6}{35}\\\\=\frac{24}{5}\text{points per minute}$

Hence, the average during that 5 5/6 minutes =$\frac{24}{5}\text{points per minute}$
