Question

Valorie made five times more baskets than her brother, Vance.

The equation v = 5n, where v represents the number of baskets Valorie made, and n represents the number of baskets Vance made, shows this relationship.

If Valorie made 55 baskets, how many baskets did Vance make?
A.
8
B.
11
C.
50
D.
60

Answer 1

B. 11

Explanation:

Valorie made five times more baskets, so if you replace the V in the equation with how many baskets she made (55), it would look like 55=5n. Divide 55 and the n by five to get rid the five in the equation. 11=n. Thus, the answer is B.
