Question

Michael averages 12 points in each basketball game. His team plays 2 games each week. About how many points will he score in 12 weeks? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Michael will score about 288 points in 12 weeks. This is because he scores 12 points in each game and there are 2 games each week, so he will score 24 points in each week. Multiplying 24 points by 12 weeks, Michael will score 288 points.
