Question

tanya makes 5/8 of the foul shots she attempts during a basketball practice, if she took 48 shots, how many did she make?

Answer 1

Made 5 shots every 8 attempts so if there were 48 attempts lets brake them in groups of 8.

48/8= 6 groups
5 made shots in each of the 6 groups is
5•6= 30 made shots.

30 shots were made out of 48 attempts

Answer 2

18

calculate
`(5)/(8)` × 48 = 5 × 6 = 30

she had 30 foul shots hence 48 - 30 = 18

She made 18 shots
