First, we have to convert the number of minutes Uncle Drew played from a mixed number to an improper fraction.
5 5/6= 35/6
Next, we have to set up a proportion with our known number of minutes and points to find the average number of points he scored per minute. Let x represent the average score for Uncle Drew per minute.
35/6 1
____ = _____
28 x
Next, we cross multiply the proportion to figure out what x is.
35/6x=28
Then, we divide both sides by 35/6, to get
x = 4.8
Therefore, Uncle Drew scored an average of 4.8 points per minute while he was playing.
Hope this helps!
