The answer is [tex]\frac{24}{5}[/tex] = 4[tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] points per minute
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
[tex]\frac{35}{6}[/tex] × x = 28
[tex]\frac{35x}{6}[/tex] = 28
To get the value of x, we will have to multiply both-side of the equation by [tex]\frac{6}{35}[/tex]
Hence;
[tex]\frac{6}{35}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{35x}{6}[/tex] = 28 × [tex]\frac{6}{35}[/tex]
x = 28 × 6 / 35
x =[tex]\frac{168}{35}[/tex]
x = 4.8 points
Therefore, uncle drew scored 4.8 points per minute
