Answer:
Points scored in a basketball game vary directly with shots taken.
This means that this question can be solved
by proportions, using a rule of three.
How many would she have scored if she takes 60 shots?
Using a rule of three:
50 points - 40 shots
x points - 60 shots
Applying cross multiplication:
4x = 50 × 60
Divide from both sides
x = 50 × 1.25 = 75
Answer is 75
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is a easier explanation if you didn't understand clearly:
It asked for how many 60 shots would score.
You would look at the first time he scored which is 50 and took 40 shots. Divide them
50 ÷ 40 = 1.25 or 1.5
So now you know each point scores 1.25 or 1.5
Now you multiply 1.25 or 1.5 with how many shots to see how much was scored and in this case 60 shots.
60 × 1.25 or 60 × 1.5
& They both end up equaling just the same, 75.
Hope it made sense :)
To find the average of an amount of numbers, we simply add them up and divide them by the amount of numbers we have. For example, if we have 1,2, and 3 as our numbers, we can see that we have three numbers. Next, we add them up to get 1+2+3=6. Lastly, we divide 6 by the amount of numbers we have (3) to get 6/3=2 as our average. Applying that here, we see that there are four numbers. Next, we add them up using a calculator to get 5,678.54+3,665.77+4,231.98+4,768.99 =18345.28 . Finally, we divide that number by the amount of numbers we have (using a calculator) to get 18345.28/4=4,586.32, making B your answer.

Answer:
sqrt(277) =x
x is approximately 16.64331698
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a right triangle since 14 is tangent to the circle and 9 is a radius
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem
a^2 +b^2 =c^2
9^2+14^2 =x^2
81+196 = x^2
277 = x^2
Taking the square root of each side
sqrt(277) = sqrt(x^2)
sqrt(277) =x
