Question

In a tournament, a badminton player won 6 matches and lost 4. What fraction of the matches 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

Number of matches, the player lost = 4

Total number of matches played

= Matches won by the player + Matches lost by the player

= 6 + 4 = 10

Fraction of matches the player won

$=\frac{Matcheswon}{Totalnumberofmatches}$

$=\frac{6}{10}$

$\therefore$ He won $\frac{6}{10}$ of the total matches.
