Question
Some members of the basketball team kept track of how many shots they made during practice.Julie made t shots at practice. Her friends compared the number of shots they each made to the number of shots Julie made.Match each open sentence to the statement it represents.3 × t = 15t - 6 = 112 + t = 3t - 2 = 3t ÷ 3 = 156 + t = 11Eric made 6 moreshots than Julie.Eric made 11 shots.Lori made 2 fewershots than Julie.Lori made 3 shots.Meg made 3 times as manyshots as Julie.Meg made 15 shots.
Solution
The open sentences can be matched to the statements as follows:
-
3 × t = 15: This represents "Meg made 3 times as many shots as Julie. Meg made 15 shots." If Julie made 't' shots, then Meg making 3 times as many shots as Julie would be represented by 3t. If Meg made 15 shots, then 3t = 15.
-
t - 6 = 11: This represents "Eric made 6 more shots than Julie. Eric made 11 shots." If Julie made 't' shots, then Eric making 6 more shots than Julie would be represented by t - 6. If Eric made 11 shots, then t - 6 = 11.
-
2 + t = 3: This represents "Lori made 2 fewer shots than Julie. Lori made 3 shots." If Julie made 't' shots, then Lori making 2 fewer shots than Julie would be represented by 2 + t. If Lori made 3 shots, then 2 + t = 3.
The other two equations do not match any of the given statements.
