Question

Gill scored a goal half way through the second quarter of a 'teachers versus people' netball match. At that point, what fraction of the whole match remained to be played?
A. 1/4.
B. 3/8.
C. 1/2.
D.5/8.
E.3/4

Answer 1

If you got 2 quarters and you score halfway through the second you do 1/4 + 1/8 = 3/8. 8/8 (which is a whole) - 3/8 = 5/8 which is how much is left.

Answer 2

Fraction of the whole match remained to be played is $\frac{5}{8}$.

What is fraction?

" Fraction is defined as the part of a whole quantity, represented by numerator and denominator."

According to the question,

Given,

'x' represent the whole match

Condition given : Scored a goal half way through the second quarter

Quarter of a match $= \frac{x}{4}$

As per condition total match played in fraction of the whole  $= \frac{x}{4} +\frac{x}{8}$

                                                                                                      $= \frac{3x}{8}$

Fraction of the whole match remained to be played $= x- \frac{3x}{8}$

                                                                                       $= \frac{8x-3x}{8} \\\\= \frac{5x}{8}$

It's  one whole match $x = 1$

Hence, fraction of the whole match remained to be played is $\frac{5}{8}$.
