Complete Question:
24 points scored in 4 games; a points scored in 10 games. Are they equivalent?
Answer:
Both games are not equivalent
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]24\ points = 4\ games[/tex]
[tex]1\ point = 10\ games[/tex]
Required
Determine if they are equivalent
We have that:
[tex]24\ points = 4\ games[/tex] ----- (1)
[tex]1\ point = 10\ games[/tex] ----- (2)
To solve this, we simply make the number of games equal.
Multiply (1) by 2.5
[tex]2.5 * 24\ points = 4\ games * 2.5[/tex]
[tex]60\ points = 10\ games[/tex]
This implies that there are 60 points in 10 games
While for (2):
[tex]1\ point = 10\ games[/tex] means that
There are 1 point in 10 games
Hence, both games are not equivalent
Because, the number of points differ in the same number of games
