Find an equivalent ratio where the game-play time is 72 minutes. Complete the table.

| Game-Play Time (min) | Total Practice Time (min) |
|----------------------|---------------------------|
| 80 | 100 |
| 72 | |



Answer :

Sure! Let's walk through the solution step-by-step.

1. Identify the Given Values:

- Initial game-play time: 80 minutes.
- Initial total practice time: 100 minutes.

2. Calculate the initial ratio between total practice time and game-play time:

The initial ratio is given by:
[tex]\[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Total Practice Time Prior}}{\text{Game-Play Time Prior}} = \frac{100}{80} = 1.25 \][/tex]

3. Use the ratio to find the new total practice time when the game-play time is 72 minutes:

We use the calculated ratio to find the new total practice time. Let [tex]\( x \)[/tex] represent the new total practice time. We can set up the equation based on the ratio:
[tex]\[ \frac{x}{72} = 1.25 \][/tex]

Solving for [tex]\( x \)[/tex] gives:
[tex]\[ x = 72 \times 1.25 = 90 \][/tex]

Therefore, the new total practice time is 90 minutes.

4. Complete the Table:

[tex]\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \text{Game-Play Time (min)} & \text{Total Practice Time (min)} \\ \hline 80 & 100 \\ \hline 72 & 90 \\ \hline \end{array} \][/tex]

In summary:
- The initial ratio between total practice time and game-play time is [tex]\( 1.25 \)[/tex].
- When the game-play time is 72 minutes, the equivalent total practice time is 90 minutes.

Using this method, we successfully completed the table with the values calculated.
