Question

5. 24 points scored in 4 games; a points scored in 10 games​

Answer 1

Complete Question:

24 points scored in 4 games; a points scored in 10 games​. Are they equivalent?

Answer:

Both games are not equivalent

Explanation:

Given

`24\ points = 4\ games`

`1\ point = 10\ games`

Required

Determine if they are equivalent

We have that:

`24\ points = 4\ games` ----- (1)

`1\ point = 10\ games` ----- (2)

To solve this, we simply make the number of games equal.

Multiply (1) by 2.5

`2.5 * 24\ points = 4\ games * 2.5`

`60\ points = 10\ games`

This implies that there are 60 points in 10 games

While for (2):

`1\ point = 10\ games` means that

There are 1 point in 10 games

Hence, both games are not equivalent

Because, the number of points differ in the same number of games
