A youth ice hockey game has 3 periods that are each 20 minutes long. Colin plays 12 minutes each period. Which ratio shows Colin's playing time compared to the total number of minutes playing time possible

Sagot :

the answer is 12:20.......................

He plays 12 minutes each period in a 3 period game. 3 times 12 is equal to 36 or the amount of time he played. There are 3 periods of 20 minutes and 3 times 20 is equal to 60 or the total number of possibly minutes. This makes your ratio 36/60 which can be simplified to 3/5
