Question

If the team’s best time for the race is less than 4 minutes, then the eighth graders earn 40 points. If not, the seventh graders earn 40 points. Which grade should be awarded 40 points?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer for the first part would be 3.89 minutes for the eight graders. There are 60 seconds in one minute so you’d have to take away 29 and add it to the full 4 minutes, which makes the 8th graders best time for the race 4.29 minutes. That’s more than 4 minutes, so the seventh graders would earn the points instead.
