12. Derek scored a total of 42 points in the first 4 basketballgames. If he continues to score at this rate, how manypoints will he score during the entire 18-game season?

Respuesta :

Given data:

The numbers of points scored in 4 games are 42.

The expression for the given statement is,

[tex]\begin{gathered} 4\text{ games= 42 points} \\ 1\text{ game = 10.5 points} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Multiply the above expression by 18 on both sides.

[tex]\begin{gathered} 18(1\text{ game) =18(10.5 points)} \\ 18\text{ games =189 points} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, in 18 games 189 points achieved.
