Question
The badminton coach has planned the training sessions such that the ratio of warm-up: play: cool down is 10% : 80% : 10%. If he wants to conduct a training of 90 minutes. How long should each activity last?
Answer

Warm-up time = 10% of 90 min = \(\frac {10}{100}\) × 90 = 9 min Play time = 80% of 90 min = \(\frac {80}{100}\) × 90 = 72 min Cool down time = 10% of 90 min = 9 min.
