A hockey goalie loses 2 3/5 rating points each time his team loses. If his team loses 8 games in a row, what number represents the change in the goalie's rating points?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The number  [tex]-20\frac{4}{5}[/tex] or [tex]-\frac{104}{5}[/tex] represents the change in the goalie's rating points.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that hockey goalie loses [tex]2\frac{3}{5}[/tex] rating points each time his team loses.

If the team loses a game then the change in the goalie's rating points is defined as

[tex]-\frac{13}{5}[/tex]

If the team loses 8 games then the change in the goalie's rating points is defined as

[tex]-\frac{13}{5}\times 8[/tex]

[tex]-\frac{104}{5}[/tex]

It can be written as

[tex]-20\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

Therefore the number  [tex]-20\frac{4}{5}[/tex] or [tex]-\frac{104}{5}[/tex] represents the change in the goalie's rating points.
