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? (Hint: A free throw is worth one point).

38/2 + 33/3 + 8/1 = ?

38 To find out how many shots the basketball team made during the game, we need to calculate the number of two-pointers, three-pointers, and free throws they scored.

First, let's find the number of two-pointers. Since each two-pointer is worth 2 points, we divide the total number of points from two-pointers (38) by 2:
Number of two-pointers = Total points from two-pointers / Value of a two-pointer = 38 / 2 = 19

Next, let's find the number of three-pointers. Since each three-pointer is worth 3 points, we divide the total number of points from three-pointers (33) by 3:
Number of three-pointers = Total points from three-pointers / Value of a three-pointer = 33 / 3 = 11

Finally, let's find the number of free throws. Since each free throw is worth 1 point, we can directly use the given total number of points from free throws:
Number of free throws = Total points from free throws = 8

To calculate the total number of shots, we add up the number of two-pointers, three-pointers, and free throws:
Total shots = Number of two-pointers + Number of three-pointers + Number of free throws
Total shots = 19 + 11 + 8 = 38

Therefore, the basketball team made a total of 38 shots during the game.
