Ryan and Cartier are running backs for their school football team. In the last game, Ryan played in 1/5 of the game and Cartier played 5/9 of the game. If the game was 60 minutes long, how many more minutes did Cartier play than Ryan?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Cartier played 21.33 minutes more than Ryan.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total duration of the game played = 60 minutes

Part of the game played by Ryan = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] of the game

Duration of game played by Ryan = [tex]\frac{1}{5} \textrm{of the total minutes} = \frac{1}{5}\times 60 =12\ minutes[/tex]

Part of the game played by Cartier = [tex]\frac{5}{9}[/tex] of the game

Duration of game played by Ryan = [tex]\frac{5}{9} \textrm{of the total minutes} = \frac{5}{9}\times 60 =\frac{100}{3}=33\frac{1}{3}\ minutes[/tex]

Difference between their duration = [tex]33\frac{1}{3}-12=(33-12)+\frac{1}{3}=21\frac{1}{3}\ minutes[/tex] or 21.33 minutes

So, Cartier played 21.33 minutes more than Ryan.
