Question

Mary's team scores 18 points in the first half and 7 points in the second half. Mary scored a total of 5 points. What fraction of the total points did Mary score?

Answer 1

.2 or 1/5

First, calculate the total points by adding the two half's totals together.

7 + 18 = 25

Now, divide the number of points Mary scored by the total.

5 / 25 = 1/5
