Question

Dylan scored a total of 48 points in first 4 games of the basketball season. Which equation can be used to find g, the average number of points he scores per game?

Answer 1

g= 48/4???? that would make sense wouldn't it? because 48/4 would be the total number of points divided by the amount of games in which those points are scored. 

Answer 2

Answer:

$g = \frac{48}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Average = \frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{No. of observations}}$

$Average = \frac{\text{Total score}}{\text{Total no. of games}}$

Since we are given that Dylan scored a total of 48 points in first 4 games of the basketball season.

So,$Average = \frac{48}{4}$

Let the average be g

So, $g = \frac{48}{4}$

Hence The equation can be used to find g, the average number of points he scores per game is $g = \frac{48}{4}$
