Question

Dylan scored a total of 48 points in first 4 games of the basketball season. Which equation can be used to find g, the average number of points he scores per game?

48÷4=g
4÷48=g
g÷4=g
4÷g=48

Answer 1

average=total/number of games

average=48/4=g


first one is correct

Answer 2

`(48)/(4)=g`

Explanation:

we know that

To find the average number divided the total of points by the total of games

Let

g-----> the average number

x------> total of points

y-----> total of games

`g=(x)/(y)`

In this problem we have

`x=48\ points`

`y=4\ games`

substitute

`g=(48)/(4)`

`g=12(points)/(game)`
