Kristine made 4.9% of her 3-point shots last basketball season. She attempted forty 3-point shots in all. About how many points did she score from just 3-point shots?
(40 * 3) * 0.049 = ?
To find out how many points Kristine scored from just 3-point shots, we need to calculate the number of successful shots she made.
First, we calculate the number of successful shots by multiplying the percentage she made by the total number of attempts:
4.9% of 40 = (4.9/100) * 40 = 1.96
Therefore, using this calculation, Kristine made approximately 1.96 successful 3-point shots.
Now, we need to calculate the points scored from these 3-point shots. Each successful 3-point shot is worth 3 points.
So, to calculate the total points scored from 3-point shots, we multiply the number of successful shots by 3:
1.96 * 3 = 5.88
Therefore, Kristine scored approximately 5.88 points from just 3-point shots.
