Question

Uncle drew scored 28 points in 5 5/6 minutes during a game of basketball.

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Answer:

4.8 points

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we can use proportionality.

From the question above, uncle drew scored 28 points in  5 5/6 minutes, we are to find the number of points he got in 1 minute.

First we convert 5 5/6 from its mixed number to an improper fraction;

5 5/6 =  35  /   6

Let x = the number of point uncle drew scored in a minute

35/6  minutes   = 28 points

 1 minute           =     x

cross multiply

$\frac{35}{6}$   ×   x     =      28

$\frac{35x}{6}$   =   28

To get the value of x, we will have to multiply both-side of the equation by $\frac{6}{35}$

Hence;

$\frac{6}{35}$  ×  $\frac{35x}{6}$   =  28 ×  $\frac{6}{35}$

               x   =   28 × 6    /     35

              x   =$\frac{168}{35}$

             x  =  4.8 points

Therefore, uncle drew scored 4.8 points per minute
