total games played = 90
Andrew scored 2/3 of those or 60
To find the number of points Andrew scored in these two games, we need to find the total number of points scored by the team.
In the first game, the team scored 55 points.
In the second game, the team scored 35 points.
The total number of points scored by the team is 55 + 35 = 90 points.
To find the number of points Andrew scored in these two games, we need to calculate 2/3 of the total number of points scored by the team.
2/3 * 90 = (2 * 90) / 3 = 180 / 3 = 60
Therefore, Andrew scored 60 points in these two games.
To find the number of points Andrew scored in these two games, we need to first find the total number of points scored by the team.
The team scored 55 points in the first game and 35 points in the second game. To find the total number of points scored by the team, we add these two numbers together:
55 + 35 = 90
The team scored a total of 90 points in these two games.
Next, we know that Andrew scored 2/3 of the total number of points the team scored. To find Andrew's score, we need to multiply the total number of points by 2/3:
90 * (2/3) = 60
Therefore, Andrew scored 60 points in these two games.
