At soccer practice, Hassan warms up by kicking balls at the goal. Yesterday, Hassan made 24 goals in 3 minutes. Today, he only spent 2 minutes kicking balls at the goal.

goals

To find out how many goals Hassan made today, we first need to determine his scoring rate from yesterday.

Hassan made 24 goals in 3 minutes. To find the rate per minute, we divide the total number of goals by the time:

\[ \text{Rate} = \frac{24 \text{ goals}}{3 \text{ minutes}} = 8 \text{ goals per minute} \]

Today, Hassan spent 2 minutes kicking balls at the goal. To find out how many goals he made today at the same rate, we multiply his rate by the time he spent kicking:

\[ \text{Goals made today} = 8 \text{ goals per minute} \times 2 \text{ minutes} = 16 \text{ goals} \]

Thus, Hassan made 16 goals today.
