Question

In a basketball game, Aaron made 6 baskets. Each basket was worth 3 points.

Shu made the same number of points in the game. Shu made only baskets worth 2 points.
How many baskets did Shu make?

Answer 1

Aaron scored 18 points from 6 baskets worth 3 points each. Shu made the same number of points with baskets worth 2 points. Thus, Shu made 9 baskets to total 18 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many baskets Shu made, we first need to calculate the total number of points Aaron scored. Aaron made 6 baskets, each worth 3 points, so he scored a total of 6 baskets × 3 points per basket = 18 points in the game. Since Shu made the same number of points, but each of Shu's baskets was worth only 2 points, we divide the total points by the number of points per basket to find out how many baskets Shu made.

Therefore, Shu made 18 points ÷ 2 points per basket = 9 baskets. Shu made 9 baskets, where each basket was worth 2 points to equal Aaron's total of 18 points.

Answer 2

A made 6 B worth 3p

S made () worth 2p

so it would be 6 baskets because the all multiply the same way. 3x2 and 2x3 they both equal to 6
