In the first 9 basketball games of the
season, Lashonda scored 114 points.
a) On average, how many points does
Lashonda score per game?
b) At this rate, how many points will
Lashonda score after 24 games?
For problem A, you would divide the 114 points by the 9 games to get the average points that she scores per game.
For problem B, you would take the answer to the question above and multipy it by the 24 games. Then you would have the anser to how many points she would score in a total of 24 games.
Hope this helps :)
114pts/9games = 114/9 pts/game
114/9 pts/game * 24 games = ____ pts
A) around 13 baskets
b) 312 cause 13x24 is 312
To answer these questions, we need to use the concept of average and apply it to the given information.
a) To find the average number of points Lashonda scores per game, we divide the total number of points she scored (114) by the number of games played (9).
Average = Total points / Number of games
Average = 114 points / 9 games
Average = 12.67 points per game (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
Therefore, on average, Lashonda scores approximately 12.67 points per game.
b) To find out how many points Lashonda will score after 24 games at the same average rate, we multiply the average number of points per game (12.67) by the number of games played (24).
Points after 24 games = Average points per game x Number of games
Points after 24 games = 12.67 points per game x 24 games
Points after 24 games = 304.08 points
Therefore, at the same rate, Lashonda will score approximately 304.08 points after 24 games.
