Question

Demetrius Scored 28 points in5 56 minutes duringa game of tennis. How many points did he average per minute during that

5 and 56 minutes? Type your answer as a simplified improper fraction

Answer 1

420/89

Explanation:

What we know:

Demetrius scored 28 points in 356 seconds.

To get the per second rate divide 28 by 356.

28/356 = 7/89

Here, we're looking for the per minute rate, so multiply the previous rate by 60.

(7*60)/89 = 420/89 (Since this asks for an improper fraction, I'll keep it as so.)
