Question

Uncle Drew scored 2828 points in 5 5/6 ? minutes during a game of basketball. How many points did he average per minute during that 5\dfrac565 6 5 ? minutes?

Answer 1

Answer:

4.8 points per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Uncle Drew scored 28 points in $5 \frac{5}{6}$ minutes. We have to convert the mixed fraction first:

$t = 5 \frac{5}{6}=\frac{5\cdot 6+5}{6}=\frac{35}{6}$

So, the time is 35/6 minutes.

In order to find the number of points he scored in a minute, we have to divide the total number of points by the number of minutes, so:

$mean = \frac{28}{35/6}=28 \cdot \frac{6}{35}=4.8$

So, he scored 4.8 points per minute.
