Shelley's basketball team won 3/4 of their games last season. in 1/6 of the games they won, they outscored their opponents by more than 10 points. what fraction of their games did shelley’s team win by more than 10 points?

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be resolved with a simple multiplication, but the important thing is to analyse and know why.

First of all, this problem can be seen as a probability problem with two events: Games won (Event A) and Games won with more than 10 points (Event B).

Each event have already its probability. For Event A we have . For Event B we have .

So, the fact that it's being asked for the expression when they won and with more than 10 points, means an interception, a mixture of both events. In order to that ''mixture'', mathematically we multiply, because we need to calculate games won and with more than 10 points.

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
