Question

Derek scored a total of 34 points in the first four basketball games. If he continues to score at this rate, how many points will he score during the entire 18-game season?

Answer 1

153 points (pts)

Explanation:

if derek scores 34 (pts per game) you would need to divide that by 4 (amount of games) you then get the number 8.5

8.5 is the amount he scores per game

if derek scores 8.5 pts per game and there is 18 games in the season you would need to multiply 8.5 by 18

this then leads us to the answer of:

153 Points
