Question

A middle school football game has four 12-minute quarters. Jason plays 8 minutes in each quarter.Which ratio represents Jason's playing time compared to the total number of minutes of playing time possible?1 to 3 2 to 33 to 24 to 1I’m

Answer 1

The total minutes in the game is 48. The total playing game for Jason is 32. The ratio is

`(32)/(48)`

Simplifying it, we have

`(32)/(48)=(16)/(24)=(8)/(12)=(4)/(6)=(2)/(3)`

So, the playing ratio is 2 to 3 for Jason.
