🏀 Hello, math enthusiasts! ⛹
We’re wrapping up March Madness with a final challenge! Let’s dive into some engaging basketball-themed math problems.
⏱️Game Duration Comparison
NBA games consist of four 12-minute quarters, while college basketball games have two 20-minute halves. Which game is longer, and by how many minutes?
⠇Tournament Teams Remaining
A basketball tournament began with 64 teams. After several rounds, 48 teams have been eliminated. How many teams are still competing?
📊Field Goal Percentage Analysis
In a recent NCAA tournament game, Alabama’s Mark Sears made 10 out of 16 three-point shots. Meanwhile, Duke’s Tyrese Proctor hit 9 out of 10 field goals in another game. Calculate the shooting percentage for each player by dividing the number of successful shots by the total attempts and multiplying by 100. Who had the higher shooting percentage?
