Question

A basketball player averages 13.5 points per game. use this rate to find the value of x, the number of points scored in 7 games.

Answer 1

Knowing that a ratio applies to the same situation in just a larger/smaller scale;

(13.5)(7)=x (where x is the predicted number of scores)
94.5=x

Therefore, the player should score 94.5 points in 7 games.

Answer 2

x=94.5

Explanation:

We are given that a basketball player averages 13.5 points per game.

x=Number of points scored in 7 games

We have to find the value of x

In order to find the points scored in 7 games we will multiply 7 by 13.5.

Number of games=7

Number of point scored in one game=13.5

Number of points scored in 7 games=
`13.5* 7`

Number of points scored in 7 games=94.5

Hence, value of x=94.5
