To determine how many minutes Carter plays based on the options provided, we need to clarify the relationship between the numbers presented and the game time.
Carter played 58 out of a total of 40 minutes of a basketball game.
Since all the response patterns seem to involve combinations of the digits without a clear explanation of their context, let's try to analyze one of the responses that might indicate how to compute the minutes played.
However, the options you've provided seem to contain a mix of mathematical operations and may not directly show the calculation of how to find the minutes Carter plays.
Given the context - he plays for a certain portion of 40 minutes - an applicable approach would simply state:
Carter played for a fraction of the total game time. To find how many minutes he actually played requires additional information, such as what "58" represents in relation to the 40 minutes.
Assuming "58" refers to a score or another measure unrelated to minutes directly, we really require a simple understanding that if he played for "X" amount of those total 40 minutes, you can express that as:
Minutes Played = (Time of Game) × (His playing fraction)
Unfortunately, the specific response options you provided do not clearly convey a standard method to compute the minutes played.
Please clarify the context of "58" (is it a score, a fraction, number of possessions, etc.?) so I can ultimately guide you to the right formula or the appropriate choice among the responses given!
As it stands, none of the provided equations clearly suggest a valid method for calculating how long Carter played in minutes.
