Question

If Blake scored 182 points in 14 games, how many will he score in 17 games?

Answer 1

221

Explanation:

Make a proportion.

182/14 = x/17

182 x 17 divided by 14 is 221

Answer 2

221 points

Explanation:

We can set up a ratio of points to games

182:14

We can simplify this ratio into

13:1

This means he can score 13 points in 1 game. Now we can set up an equation to find how many he will score in 17 games.

`(13)/(1) =(x)/(17)`

Cross multiply

x=221

He will score 221 points
