Basic Math - 5th grade Applications Problem


Expert: Lynn Houston - 11/5/2009

Question
Please help me solve this multiquestion problem

Table:

2003-2004 Season Player Averages

            Points         Rebounds               Assists
              per            per                    per
             game           game                    game


Duncan         22             11                       3
Parker         14              2                       6
Ginobili       12              5                       4

Team Total     91             45                      21


If the Spurs played 102 games in the entire season, about how many points did Parker score?




About how many rebounds did the team make during the 82-game regular season?



About how many assists would be made by Duncan,Parker, and Ginobili during the 41 games played at home?


I must confess..I'm not smarter than a fifth grader..Do I need to round any of these numbers?

Thank you,

Kim


Answer
PaRKER SCORED 14 PTS per game, so pts for the season would be 102 * 14 = 1428

The team scored 45 rebounds, so for 82 games, they scored 82*45 = 3690

Duncan, Parker nad Ginobili assisted 3+6+4 times or 13, so in 41 games they assisted 41*13 = 533

No rounding necessary.
