Answer:
1.) No
2.) 40 goals
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Last season:
Games played = 15
Points scored = 41
Current season:
Games played = 9
Points scored = 24
A)
Last season:
Goals per game = total points / number of games
Goals per game = 41 / 15 = 2.733
Current season :
Goals per game = total points / number of games
Goals per game = 24 / 9 = 2.667
Last season’s goal per game is greater than that of current season.
B)
Current rate = goals / games = 24/9 – – – (1)
Let points to be scored this season = y
Ratio of y to number of games played last season = y / 15 – – – (2)
Equate both
24 / 9 = y / 15
9 * y = 24 * 15
y = 360 / 9
y = 40
Answer:
A=no B=no
Step-by-step explanation:
in the first season you need to divide 41 into 15 to see how much he scored in 1 game which is 2.7333333333 continued
next you need to find second season which is 24/9 2.6666666666 continued
easy, 2.666666666 times 15 is too inacurate so do 24/9*15 which is 40 so the answer is also no
