Answer:
Th correct option is;
D: 5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have a word problem as which we analyze as follows;
We are told;
Half way through the second quarter of the "teacher versus pupils'" netball match Gill scored a goal
That is
[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] way through the 2nd [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of the "teacher versus pupils'" netball match Gill scored a goal
That gives;
[tex]\frac{1}{2} \ of \ 2^{nd} \ \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{8} \ of \ second \ quarter[/tex]
That is since the match is divided into quarters, there are 4 quarters which gives
[tex]\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4} +\frac{1}{4} +\frac{1}{4} = 1 \ match[/tex]
We are at the [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] of the second quarter, hence the amount played so far is given as follows;
[tex]\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{3}{8}[/tex]
Amount remaining = [tex]1- \frac{3}{8} = \frac{5}{8}[/tex].
Answer:
The fraction remaining to be played is 5/8 which is option D
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we should know that a netball game consists of 4 quarters, with each quarter lasting 15 minutes and the whole match taking a total of 60 minutes.
Now, a goal is scored halfway through the second quarter. what this means is that the first quarter had been played and half of the second quarter has been played.
The total amount of time played is thus 7.5 + 15 = 22.5 minutes
The amount in minutes of the match remaining to be played is 60-22.5 = 37.5 minutes
Thus, the fraction remained to be played would be 37.5/60 = 2.5/4 = 5/8
