Question

Tyrel And Diego are playing basketball. Together they scored 45 points.Tyrel scored two times as many points as Diego. How many points did Tyrel and Diego each score?

Answer 1

Answer:

Tyrel scored 30 and Diego scored 15

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the ratio of the score is 2:1  (Tyrel : Diego)

and if you add that together you get 3

which means you have to divide 45 by 3 which gives you 15

and this means I part = 15

so with the ratio 2:1 you have to multiply 15 by each ratio

so 15 x 2 = 30 and 15 x 1 = 15

which gives you 30 and 15
