Question

Amit used to be on the playground $4\frac{1}{2}$ times as much as his brother. His parents scolded him, so, he cut down $1\frac{1}{3}$ of the time he used to play. How many times as much as his brother is he now on the ground? [3 MARKS]

Answer 1

Calculation : 2 Marks
Result : 1 Mark

Amit played $\frac{9}{2}$ times of his brother. After getting scolded, duration of Amit play = $\frac{9}{2}$ - $\frac{4}{3}$ = $\frac{19}{6}$.

So, now Amit plays $\frac{19}{6}$ times of his brother.
