Alex scores 1\5 of the teams goals in the playoffs. Of those goals, 1/3 of them were scored during a power play. What fraction of the teams playoff goals were scored by Alex on the power play?
1/5 * 1/3 = 1/15
He scord twice nt once ansa =2/5 * 1/3
To find the fraction of the team's playoff goals scored by Alex on the power play, we need to find the fraction of Alex's goals that were scored during the power play and then multiply it by the fraction of the team's goals scored by Alex.
First, let's find the fraction of Alex's goals that were scored during the power play. We know that 1/3 of Alex's goals were scored during the power play. So, if we represent the total goals scored by Alex as x, then the number of goals scored by Alex on the power play would be 1/3 * x.
Next, let's find the fraction of the team's goals scored by Alex. We know that Alex scored 1/5 of the team's goals. So, if we represent the total team goals as y, then the number of goals scored by Alex would be 1/5 * y.
Now, to find the fraction of the team's playoff goals scored by Alex on the power play, we divide the number of goals scored by Alex on the power play (1/3 * x) by the total team goals (y) and multiply by the reciprocal of the fraction representing Alex's goals (1/5):
(1/3 * x) / y * (5/1)
Simplifying the expression, we get:
(1/3 * 1/5 * x) / y
Multiplying the fractions, we have:
1/15 * x / y
So, the fraction of the team's playoff goals scored by Alex on the power play is 1/15 * x / y.
