During a game, a basketball team scored 38 points worth of two-pointers, 33 points worth of three-pointers, and 8 points worth of free throws. How many shots did the basketball team make during the game?
38/2 = 19
33/3 = 11
Add those two sums to 8.
thanks
You're welcome.
What is the answer please tell me
THANK YOU SO MUCH :D
THIS DOES NOT HELP ME AT ALLL
its 38
To find the number of shots the basketball team made during the game, we can add up the number of shots for each type of scoring.
First, let's find the number of two-pointers made. Each two-pointer is worth 2 points, and the team scored a total of 38 points from two-pointers. Therefore, we divide the total points from two-pointers (38) by the value of each two-pointer (2):
Number of two-pointers = Total points from two-pointers / Value of each two-pointer
Number of two-pointers = 38 / 2
Number of two-pointers = 19
Next, let's find the number of three-pointers made. Each three-pointer is worth 3 points, and the team scored a total of 33 points from three-pointers. Therefore, we divide the total points from three-pointers (33) by the value of each three-pointer (3):
Number of three-pointers = Total points from three-pointers / Value of each three-pointer
Number of three-pointers = 33 / 3
Number of three-pointers = 11
Finally, we don't need any calculations for free throws since the points earned from them (8) are equivalent to the number of free throws made. Therefore, the number of shots made from free throws is also 8.
To find the total number of shots made, we add up the number of two-pointers, three-pointers, and free throws:
Total shots made = Number of two-pointers + Number of three-pointers + Number of free throws
Total shots made = 19 + 11 + 8
Total shots made = 38
Therefore, the basketball team made 38 shots during the game.
