Question

At soccer practice, Hassan warms up by kicking balls at the goal. Yesterday, Hassan made 24 goals in 3 minutes. Today, he only spent 2 minutes kicking balls at the goal.

If Hassan made goals at the same rate, how many goals did he make today?

Answer 1

Hassan scores 16 goals today if he scores at the same rate today.

Explanation:

Hassan scores 24 goals in 3 minutes.

Here, unitary method can be used to calculate the number of goals scored today i.e. in 2 minutes.

Hassan's rate of scoring goals (Number of goals scored in a minute) is
`(24)/(3)`.

Number of goals scored in a minute = 8 goals per minute

It is given that, today as well he is scoring at the same rate:

So, number of goals scored today in 2 minutes =
`8 * 2 \Rightarrow 16` goals.

Hassan scored 16 goals today.
