Question

Paul's basketball coach decides that he will play only the first three quarters of every game this season. If he starts the first 20 games, what expression can you write to model how much playing time he actually gets?

Answer 1

The first choice: 3/4 * 20

Explanation:

We are told that the basketball coach decides to play only 3/4 of every game this season. This means if a total of 20 games are played then the playing time he will get be will be 3/4 of 20, which is

`(3)/(4)\cdot20`

Hence, the first choice is correct.
