Question

Tabitha was shooting free throws in gym class. She completed 6 of the shots, which was a third of 5 more than Joan completed. How many shots did Joan complete?

Answer 1

Try multiplying 5 times 0.33. I got 4.35 but you might get something else.

Answer 2

6=x+5/3
18/3=x=5/3
18=X+5
X=13
so, i believe the answer is 13
