Cody is at the basketball team at school. He can hit the ball 65% of the time. If he tries hitting the ball 30 times in a row, how many balls will he hit? Round to the nearest whole number.

20

Step-by-step explanation:

All you are doing is taking the accuracy of how many balls Cody can hit or the chances that he will hit the ball, then you take that and multiply it by the amount of times he is hitting the ball, in which it would be 30 x 6.5 = 19.5, but you would round to the nearest whole number, being 20.

we convert 65% to decimal format. It will be .65 this is the percentage that he will sink the ball.

Multiply 30(.65)=19.5 since a ball throw cannot be a fraction round off the number. Therefore it would be 20 balls that he sinks.

In case this was not clear if he sunk 50% it would be .5(30)=15

wait this depends wether emily and zach how they are thinking.

yes they are the same.

2 equivalent expressions to represent the area of a rectangle and the top is n-3 and the side is 2

area of the rectangle = length * width

given length = n - 3

width = 2

replace it in the area

so area of the rectangle = (n-3) *2

= 2(n-3)

one of the expression is 2(n-3)

to get another expression we distribute 2 inside the parenthesis

2(n-3) is 2n - 6

so another expression is 2n - 6

two equivalent expression are

2(n - 3)   , 2n - 6
