Now on to this question!

Question 2: If Mika's brother, Sasuke, scored 12 baskets in 8 minutes and then another 3 in 2 minutes, how many baskets in how many points did he score? If he kept scoring at that rate, how many points did he score in 50 minutes?

Now, I have to use either a X K Y chart OR a Part to Total chart. I'll use a Part to Total chart.

But first, I have to add up the minutes and the points. Hm...let's see..

So Sasuke scored 12 baskets and then another 3, he scored...12...13...14...15. He scored 15 baskets in total.

Now for his time, he scored 12 baskets in 8 minutes, then another 3 in 2. Er...8...9...10. He scored 15 baskets in 10 minutes...Wow. He's really good.

On a Part to Total chart, it'll look like dis:



The part is the basket and the total is the minute.

Now, if you want to, you reduce. I don't think I have to but if you want to, you can. It's gonna look like this on the chart:



So our answer is 75. It'll look like this as a fraction:



The numerator, or the top number, is the basket. The denominator, or the bottom number is the minute.

In all, Sasuke scored 75 baskets in 50 minutes. Wow. He's EXTREMELY good!
