A. [tex]$\frac{3}{62}$[/tex] points per game
B. [tex]$\frac{62}{3}$[/tex] points per game
C. [tex]$\frac{62}{65}$[/tex] points per game
D. [tex]$\frac{3}{65}$[/tex] points per game



Answer :

Let's determine the unit rate for points per game that Pedro scored over his last 3 basketball games.

First, we know that Pedro scored a total of 62 points over 3 games.

To find the unit rate of points per game, we need to divide the total points by the number of games played. The unit rate [tex]\( R \)[/tex] can be calculated as follows:

[tex]\[ R = \frac{\text{Total Points}}{\text{Number of Games}} \][/tex]

So we substitute the given values:

[tex]\[ R = \frac{62 \text{ points}}{3 \text{ games}} \][/tex]

Performing the division, we get:

[tex]\[ R = 20.666666666666668 \text{ points per game} \][/tex]

Therefore, the unit rate is:

[tex]\[ \frac{62}{3} \][/tex]

So, the correct option is:

[tex]\[ \frac{62}{3} \text{ points per game} \][/tex]
