To determine if Reid is correct in saying he made a field goal 4 times, we can analyze the information given.
Reid kicked the football a total of 20 times. He missed a field goal 6 times. We can find out how many successful field goals he made by subtracting the number of misses from the total kicks:
Total kicks = 20
Misses = 6
Successful field goals = Total kicks - Misses
Successful field goals = 20 - 6 = 14
If Reid says he made a field goal 4 times, that means he is claiming that he successfully kicked the football through the goalposts 4 times. However, based on our calculation, he actually made 14 successful field goals.
Therefore, Reid is incorrect; he actually made 14 field goals, not 4.
