Answer:

The number of points scored after 54 minutes is 18 points

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of points scored be P and the number of minutes played be m

Since P is directly proportional to m, then;

P = km

where k is proportionality constant

Initially;

8 = 24k

k = 8/24 = 1/3

Now, number of points P for 54 minutes

That will be;

P = km

P = 1/3 * 54

P = 18 minutes
