Question

reid kicked the football 20 times. he missed a field goal 6 times. reid says he made a field goal 4 time. is he correct

Answer 1

Reid is wrong. He made 14 field goals

Explanation:

If Reid kicked the ball and only failed Field goal 6 times, therefore if only Failed 6 times I mean that I succeed the rest of the attempts

To calculate how many times I hit the total number of attempts we subtract the times that I failed

Total attempts: 20

Failed attempts: 6

`20-6= 14`

Reid made a field goal fourteen times

Answer 2

No, he is not correct as he kicked 20 times whereas he missed only 6 times. So he made a field goal 20-6 = 14 times
