Question

Steve increases his math average by 9 points over a period of 15 weeks. How many points per week did he average?

Answer 1

You find it by looking for the key words "points per week"

per means basically divide. POINTS DIVIDED BY WEEKS

so 9 divided by 15....
 but when they ask "did he average..... just in case, write the answer of 9/15 rounded, AND as the unrounded decimal..... or this is a whole different topic, and this might not be the answer your teacher is looking for.... but that's that.
