Question

I need help on this I cant figure it out..

Answer 1

15

Explanation:

(1/6) of 18

= (1/6)×18

= 3

18-3

=15

Answer 2

15

Explanation:

We have been told:

• Alex made 18 free throws
• Quinn made 1/6 less than that

Therefore, to find the number of throws Quinn made, we need to find 1/6 of 18, then subtract this from 18 (the number of throws Alex made).

`\begin{aligned}\sf \frac16\:of\:18 &=\sf \frac16 * 18\\\\ & = \sf (1 * 18)/(6)\\\\ & = \sf(18)/(6)\\\\ & =\sf18 / 6\\\\ & =\sf3\end{aligned}`

Now we have calculated 1/6 of 18, we can subtract it from 18 to find the number of throws Quinn made:

⇒ Number of throws Quinn made = 18 - 3 = 15
