Question

In a video game for every 8 enemies defeat,

you earned 2 points. If you defeated 16
enemies, how many points would you have
earned?

Answer 1

4 points

Explanation:

In a video game for every 8 enemies defeat, you earned 2 points. If you defeated 16 enemies, how many points would you have earned?

For every 8 enemies defeat, you earn 2 points. Therefore you earn 1/4 point per enemy. [2/8 = 1/4]

if you defeat 16 enemies:

16* 1/4 = 4 points

alternative solving:

16 is twice as large as 8. Therefore:

2 * 2 points = 4 points
