Question

Points scored in a basketball game vary directly with shots taken. If a player scores 50 points and takes 40

Answer 1

Answer:

She would have scored 75 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

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:

$40x = 50*60$

Dividing both sides by 40

$x = 50*1.5 = 75$

She would have scored 75 points.
