Answer:

3 , 6 , 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

There are three groups of shots in basketball.

First group carry = 1 point

Second group carry = 2 points

Third group carry = 3 points

Sarah scored a total of 25 points by making 13 total baskets.

She made twice as many 2 point shots as she did 3 point shots.

Question asked:

How many of each type of shot did she make ?

Solution:

Let number of baskets, she made which carry 3 points = x

Then, number of baskets, she made which carry 2 points = 2x

Total number of baskets, she made = 13

Then, number of baskets, she made which carry 1 points = 13-(x+2x)=13-3x

Now,

Sarah scored a total number of points = 25

3\times x+2\times2x+1(13-3x)=25\\3x+4x+13-3x=25\\4x+13=25

Subtracting both sides by 13

4x=25-13\\4x=12

Dividing both sides by 4

x=3

By substituting the value:-

Number of baskets, she made which carry 3 points = x = 3

Number of baskets, she made which carry 2 points = 2x = 2\times3=6

Number of baskets, she made which carry 1 points = 13-3x=13-3\times3=13-9=4

Thus, she made 3 baskets of 3 points, 6 baskets of 2 points and 4 baskets of 1 point.

Nancy’s morning routine involves getting dressed , eating breakfast, making her bed , and driving to work . Nancy spends 1/3 of
grin007 [14]

Answer: Nancy needs 26 minutes to driving to work.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Time taken in eating breakfast = 10 minutes

Time taken in making her bed = 5 minutes

Let the total time taken by her in doing routine activities be x

Time taken in getting dressed is given by

\frac{1}{3}x

So, According to question,

\frac{x}{3}+10+5=35\frac{1}{2}\\\\\frac{x}{3}+15=\frac{71}{2}\\\\\frac{x}{3}=\frac{71}{2}-15\\\\\frac{x}{3}=\frac{71-30}{2}=\frac{41}{2}\\\\x=\frac{123}{2}

Now, we need to find the time taken in driving to work which is given by

\frac{123}{{2}-\frac{71}{2}=\frac{52}{2}=26\ minutes

Hence, Nancy needs 26 minutes to driving to work.
