Question

There were 10 runs scored in a baseball game. Team a score 1/5 of the runs. Team b score 2 runs in the first half of the game. What fraction of the runs did team b score in the last half of the game?

Answer 1

6/10 = 3/5

Explanation:

Team a scored (1/5) * 10 = 2 runs, meaning that Team B scored 10-2 = 8 runs.

8 - 2 (from the second half) is 6/10 = 3/5
