Question

In football a field goal is worth 3 points which function rule relates the number of field goals f and the number of points p

A f = 3p
B p = 3f
C p = 3/f
D p = 3 + f

Answer 1

The answer would be B. If you want to FIND how many points a person has, you put the "p" on its own on the left of the equation, and since every field goal (f) you score is worth 3 points, just multiply "f" by 3 (3f).

For example, if someone scored 5 field goals in a game, to find how many points they totalled, just plug in the 5 for "f":

1. Get equation:

p = 3f

2. Plug in field goals for "f":

p = 3(5)

3. Solve:

p = 15
