The Northwestern High School basketball team won the championship this year. The MVP award will go to the player who scored the most points per game. Player A scored 345 points and played in 15 games. Player B scored 468 points in 18 games played. Which player should win the MVP award? Choose 1 for player A and 2 for player B.(1 point)
To determine who should win the MVP award, we need to calculate the average number of points per game for each player.
For Player A, we divide the total points scored (345) by the number of games played (15):
345 / 15 = 23.
For Player B, we divide the total points scored (468) by the number of games played (18):
468 / 18 = 26.
Therefore, Player B should win the MVP award as they have a higher average of points per game (26) compared to Player A (23).
The answer is 2 for Player B.
To determine which player should win the MVP award, we need to calculate the average number of points each player scored per game.
First, let's calculate the average points per game for Player A:
Player A scored 345 points in 15 games.
To find the average, we divide the total points by the number of games:
Average points per game for Player A = 345 points / 15 games = 23 points per game.
Next, let's calculate the average points per game for Player B:
Player B scored 468 points in 18 games.
To find the average, we divide the total points by the number of games:
Average points per game for Player B = 468 points / 18 games = 26 points per game.
Comparing the averages, we can see that Player B has a higher average points per game (26) than Player A (23). Therefore, Player B should win the MVP award.
So, the correct answer is 2 for player B.
