Answer:

Yes she will

Explanation:

At the beginning of a basketball game, Logan made 9 points in 4 minutes. She wants to break the school's record of 119 points in a game. If a game lasts for 1 hour and Logan continues to score points at this rate, will she break the school's record? Explain how you know.

A game lasts for 1 hour

The record of the school = 119 points in a game.

The rate at which Logan is playing is =

9 points in 4 minutes.

1 hour = 60 minutes.

Hence,

4 minutes = 9 points

60 minutes = x points

Cross Multiply

4 × x = 60 × 9

x = 60 × 9/4

x = 135 points

Hence, Logan if she continues at a rate of 9 points in 4 minute will beat the school record and score 135 points in a game.
