In 24 games, Jaime has 48 scoring attempts. Which unit rate describes Jaime’s scoring attempts?

Question

One-half of a scoring attempt per game
2 scoring attempts per game
24 scoring attempts per game
72 scoring attempts per game

Answer 1

To find the unit rate of Jaime's scoring attempts, we can divide the total number of scoring attempts by the number of games played.

Jaime has 48 scoring attempts over 24 games:

\[ \text{Unit Rate} = \frac{\text{Total Scoring Attempts}}{\text{Total Games}} = \frac{48 \text{ attempts}}{24 \text{ games}} = 2 \text{ scoring attempts per game} \]

So, the correct unit rate that describes Jaime’s scoring attempts is 2 scoring attempts per game.
