Question

a 5th grade volleyball team scored 32 points in one game. of those points 2/8 were scored in the second half. how many points were scored in the first half of the game​

Answer 1

Number of points scored in the first half of the match is 24 points.

Explanation:

Total point scored in the volleyball game = 32

Let us assume the points scored in the first half = m

and the point scored on the second half = 2/8 of (Total points)

=
`(2)/(8)  *  32  = 8`

⇒ The number of points s cored in the second - half = 8 points

Now, Points in FIRST half+ Points in SECOND half= Total Points

⇒ m+ 8 = 32

or, m = 32 - 8 = 24

⇒ m = 24

Hence, the number of points scored in the first half is 24 points.
