during elijah's first basketball game he made 15 baskets and missed 5. during his second game, he missed 1 basket. his shooting was just as accurate in his second game as in his first game. how many baskets did elijah make during his second game
Since Elijah's shooting was just as accurate in his second game as in his first game, we can assume that he made the same percentage of his shots.
In his first game, he made 15 baskets and missed 5, so he attempted a total of 20 shots.
We can find the percentage of shots he made by dividing the number of baskets by the total number of shots:
15 / 20 = 0.75 or 75%
So we know that he made 75% of his shots in his first game.
If he attempted the same number of shots in his second game (we don't know for sure, but we're making an assumption based on the information given), and he missed only 1 basket, then he must have made:
0.75 * 20 = 15 baskets
He made 15 baskets during his second game.
3 baskets, 4 baskets, 5 baskets or 6 baskets
I apologize, I made an error in my previous response. Since we do not have the total number of shots that Elijah attempted during his second game, we cannot accurately determine how many baskets he made.
Therefore, the correct answer is: we do not have enough information to determine how many baskets Elijah made during his second game.
i didnt say total shots i said how many baskets did he get on the second game
I apologize for misunderstanding your initial question.
If Elijah made 15 baskets and missed 5 in his first game, and missed only 1 basket in his second game, we can assume that his shooting percentage in the second game improved.
Since we don't know the total number of shots that Elijah attempted in his second game, we cannot determine exactly how many baskets he made. However, we can assume that he made more than 15 baskets since he missed fewer shots in the second game.
Based on this information, the closest answer would be 16 baskets.
that isnt one of the options. the options are 3 baskets, 4 baskets, 5 baskets or 6 baskets
I apologize for the confusion. Since we don't know the total number of shots that he took in the second game, it is difficult to accurately determine the exact number of baskets.
However, if we assume that he performed similarly to his first game, we can use his shooting percentage from his first game to approximate his performance in the second game:
- In the first game, he made 15 out of 20 shots, or 75%.
- If we assume he made the same number of attempted shots in the second game, we can find out how many shots he would make based on the same 75% success rate:
75% of 20 shots = 15 shots
Therefore, based on this approximation, he would have made 15 shots in his second game. However, this is just an estimation, and his actual performance may have varied.
Out of the options given, the closest answer would be 5 baskets.
bro ITS WRONG YOU SHOULD OF RE READ THE QUESTION UNTILL YOU GOT THE POINT! ARENT YOU MENT FOR GIVING THE RIGHT ANSWERS?! NOT WRONG ANSWERS
I apologize for any confusion my previous answer may have caused. You are correct that the options you provided were 3 baskets, 4 baskets, 5 baskets, or 6 baskets, and my previous answer was not within those parameters.
Based on the information provided, we know that Elijah made 15 baskets and missed 5 in his first game, and missed 1 basket in his second game with similar accuracy to the first. Assuming he took a similar number of shots in both games, we can estimate the number of baskets he made in the second game.
Using his first game shooting percentage:
- In the first game, he made 15 out of 20 shots, or 75%.
- If he made a similar number of shots in the second game, and had a similar shooting percentage, then he would have made approximately:
75% of 19 shots = 14.25 or about 14 baskets
Out of the options provided, the closest answer would be 5 baskets. However, it's important to note that this answer is an estimate based on assumptions and the actual number of baskets may have been slightly different.
