The defense of a professional football team scored about 24% of the 242 points the team scored all season. If a touchdown is worth 6 points, which could be the number of touchdowns scored by the defense?

the answer is 9.69 or if no decimals 10

Step-by-step explanation:

24% of 242 is 58.08 you then divide that number with 6/ the amount of points they get every touchdown. you divide those numbers and you get 9.69.

and that's the amount of points they got but if there aren't any decimals in this question then it would be closer to 100 than it would be 0 so the answer is 10 points

i hope this helped. :)

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.

step-by-step explanation:

consider an orange peel: if you want to try and lay it flat, you have to stretch it, we know exactly how things are being stretched or squashed at any given point. we have many different map projections because each has different patterns of some projections can even preserve certain features of the earth without
