Kayla went to a football game. Her team scored 6 times, and got the extra point each time. A touchdown with an extra point is worth 7 points. How many points did her team score?
If the other team scored 2 more times than her team and got 7 each time, how many points did they have? Write a sentence explaining how you know that you are correct.
6 * 7 = ?
(6 + 2) * 7 = ?
To find out how many points Kayla's team scored, we need to multiply the number of touchdowns (6) by the points awarded for a touchdown with an extra point (7).
6 touchdowns x 7 points = 42 points
Therefore, Kayla's team scored a total of 42 points in the game.
To find out how many points the other team scored, we need to find out the number of touchdowns they had. Since the other team scored 2 more times than Kayla's team, the total number of touchdowns they had is 6 + 2 = 8.
Next, we multiply the number of touchdowns (8) by the points awarded for a touchdown (7).
8 touchdowns x 7 points = 56 points
Therefore, the other team had a total of 56 points in the game.
I know these answers are correct because I followed the given information and used basic math operations (multiplication) to calculate the points scored by each team.
