Question

In a certain game, there are only two ways to score points; one way is worth 3 points, and the other is worth 5 points. If Tamsin's total score is 61, which of the following could be the number of 3-point scores that Tamsin had?

Answer 1

Answer:

20 three-point scores

61/3=20 R1

Answer 2

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

61 divided by 8 = 7 remainder 5

you can do 7 3's and 7 5's which would make 7x3 = 21  +  7 x 5 = 35  21 + 35 = 56

61 - 56  = 5 (add 1 to the amount of 5's)

7 3's and 8 5's
