Question

Suppose David Robinson attempted a field goals and made m field goals during the 2001-2002 season. Write a rational expression to represent the number of career field goals made to the number of career field goals attempted at the end of the 2001-2002 season.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The fraction is $\frac{m}{a}$.

Step 1. Given Information.

Given, David Robinson attempted a field goals and made m field goals during the 2001-2002 season.

A fraction representing the ratio of the number of career field goals made to career field goals attempted by David Robinson at the end of the 2001-2002 season is to be determined.

Step 2. Explanation .

Here the number of career field goals made are m.

The number of career field goals attempted are a.

Therefore, the fraction representing the ratio of the number of career field goals made to career field goals attempted by David Robinson at the end of the 2001-2002 season is

$\frac{\text{number of goals made}}{\text{number of goals attempted}}=\frac{m}{a}$

Step 3. Conclusion .

Hence the fraction is $\frac{m}{a}$.
