Question

A badminton player won 6 games and lost 4. What fraction of the games did he win?

• A. $\frac{6}{4}$
• B. $\frac{4}{6}$
• C. $\frac{6}{10}$
• D. $\frac{5}{10}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$\frac{6}{10}$

Number of matches, the player won = 6
Total number of matches played = Matches won by the player + Matches lost by the player = 6 + 4 = 10
$\Rightarrow$ The required fraction $=\frac{Matcheswon}{Totalnumberofmatches}=\frac{6}{10}$
$\therefore$ He won $\frac{6}{10}$ of the total matches.
