Let x represent a 2-point basket, and y represent a 3-point basket.
Basket equation: x + y = 16
Point equation 2x + 3y = 39
Solve using system of equations:
if x + y = 16, then x = 16 - y
Plug into the second equation:
2(16-y) + 3y = 39
32 - 2y + 3y = 39
32 + y = 39
y = 7
So the number of 3-point baskets scored was 7. Hope this helps, let me know if there’s a step you don’t understand! :)

3/20
Step-by-step explanation:
3/5*1/4=3/20
Answer:
About 20.8 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
TO solve this just think of it as a ratio. The number of potatoes goes on top and the time goes on bottom.
48
__
10
That is what the first one would look like. In the second one we know the number of potatoes but we are trying to find the time (x).
100
___
x
Take these two ratios and set them equal to each other.
Next you cross multiply (take 48 times x and 100 times 10).
48x=1000 Now divide by 48 and you have your answer.
About 20.8 minutes
