Question

Shannon gets a full bucket of golf balls to hit at a driving range. She hits the same number of golf balls every 5 minutes. Based on the data in the table, how many golf balls were in the bucket when it was full?

a) 59
b) 54
c) 47
d) 40

Answer 1

The calculation of the total number of golf balls requires additional data on the number of balls hit per interval and the total number of intervals, which is not provided in the given information.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to calculate the number of golf balls in a bucket based on the pattern of hitting them every 5 minutes. However, the specific data needed to calculate the number of golf balls is not provided in the question prompt or the supplementary information. To find the total number of golf balls Shannon started with, you would need information on how many balls she hits in every 5-minute interval, along with the total time she spent or the number of intervals she took to hit all the balls. If you had the number of 5-minute intervals and the consistent number of balls hit per interval, you could multiply them to find the total number of balls in the bucket.
