Answer 1

Answer:

The team made x<53 points total.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4+1/10 is 7/20 or 0.35 in decimal form. If they both together scored 21 points then you can add another 7/20 (21 points) and have 14/20 (42 points). You have 6/20 more left. If you can solve what 1/20 could be then you would find the answer. Does this helps?

Answer 2

Answer:

The total number of points scored is 60.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can multiply a number to both fractions to get them to share a common denominator so we can add them easily. 20 is a multiple of both 4 and 5, so let us multiply both denominators so that they each have a denominator of 20.

1/10 * 2 = 2/20

1/4 * 5 = 5/20

Now we can add those fractions together because we want to see the total amount of points the team scored.

2/20 + 5/20 = 7/20

If 7/20 is 21 points, we can find out how much points takes up 1/20 of the fraction. We do this by dividing 21 by 7.

21 / 7 = 3

So 1/20 = 3

Now we multiply 3 by 20, which is 60. So therefore the total amount of points scored by the team is 60. Brian scored 1/10 of 60, which is 6. So he scored 6 points. Joe scored 1/4 of 60, which is 15. So Joe scored 15 points. Hope this helps.
