Question

The table shows the results of a sit-up contest.Which athlete did the most sit-ups per minute? Casey 93/3D’Andrea 176/4Eden 215/5Flores 111/3

Answer 1

hello,

to solve this question, we can keep the time in minutes, because all of them are in the same unit of time .

Now, we need to write the informations as a fraction, following this example:

`\frac{\text{number of sit-up}}{\text{ time spent}}`

So, let's solve each one:

Casey:

`(93)/(3)=\text{ }31\text{ per minute}`

D'Andrea:

`(176)/(4)=\text{ 44 per minute}`

Eden:

`(215)/(5)=\text{ 43 per minute}`

Flores:

`(111)/(3)=\text{ 37 per minute}`

So, D'Andrea did the most sit-ups per minute.
