Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

The average number of goals per game Peter scores, rounded to one decimal place is 1.6

Explanation

In first two games Peter scored 2 goals each. So, total score in two games = (2×2)= 4

In one game he scored 0 goal and in next two games he scored 3 goals each, so the total is (3×2)= 6

In the last four games he scored 1 goal in each, so the total is (1×4)= 4

So, the total score in all $9$ games $=4+0+6+4=14$

Thus, the average number of goals $= \frac{14}{9}= 1.5555....$

So, the average number of goals per game Peter scores, rounded to one decimal place is 1.6

Answer 2

1.6

He scores 14 goals in 9 games. Divide 14 by 9 and round to the first decimal place.
