Answer 1

Answer:

B. 6 field goals

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Attempts = 15$

$Scored = 40\%$

Required

Determine the number of goals scored

To do this, we simply multiply the number of attempts by the percentage scored.

$Number = Attempts * Scored$

$Number = 15 * 40\%$

Convert % to decimal

$Number = 15 * 0.40$

$Number = 6$

He scored 6 of his 15 attempts
