Question

Gaby plays on volleyball team. In the two games she scored 3/5 of the total number of points her team scored. Her team scored 25 points in the first game and 20 in the second game. What was the number of points Gaby scored in these two games?

Answer 1

Gaby scored 27 points.

Explanation:

First, you have to find 3/5 of both of the numbers.

What I did was I found 1/5 of each number and multiplied it by 3.

25/5=5, so 1/5 of 25 is 5. 5(3)= 15, so Gaby scored 15 points in the first game.

20/5= 4, so 1/5 of 20 is 4. 4(3)= 12, so Gaby scored 12 points in the second game.

Finally, add 15+12, which equals 27 :).
