Question

In a basketball game Jane and Francine made 20 baskets. Jane scored 4 times as many as Francine. How many baskets did Jane score?

Answer 1

Jane scored 16 baskets. If Francine did 4, then 4 × 4 = Jane's baskets. And 16 + 4 = 20

Answer 2

Alright, lets get started.

Suppose Francine made number of baskets = x

As given in question, Jane scored 4 times as many as Francine.

Means Jane has scored number of baskets will be = 4x

Jane and Francine made 20 baskets together, means

$x + 4x = 20$

$5x = 20$

Dividing 5 in both sides

$\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{20}{5}$

x = 4

Means Francine made number of baskets = 4

Hence Jane made number of baskets = $4 * 4 = 16$ : Answer
