Question

Uncle Drew scored 28 points in 5 5/6 end fraction minutes during a game of basketball. How many points did he average per minute during that 5 5/6 fraction minutes?

Answer 1

Uncle Drew averaged 5/24 ​points per minute.

Answer 2

Ok so I think the answer is 4.8 points per minute

Explanation:

Why because 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.
