Question: Yolanda scored 345 points over the entire season. There were 15 games over the season. She averaged 4 free throws (worth one point), and 5 two-point baskets per game. How many three-point baskets did she average a game?
Answer: She averaged 23 points per game because 345 / 15 = 23. She averaged 10 points a game off two - point baskets because 5 x 2 = 10. She averaged 4 points a game from free throws because 4 x 1 = 4. She averaged 14 points a game off non - three point baskets because 10 + 4 = 14. She averaged 9 points from three - pointers because 23 - 14 = 9. She averaged 3 three - pointers a game because 9 / 3 = 3. The answer is 3.
[Question]Sue is traveling from New York to San Francisco, 16 hours later after landing in New York from New Orleans. If the journey from New Orleans to New York took 3/4 times as much time as she takes to travel from New York to San Francisco, and she lands in San Francisco 24 hours later after departing from New York, calculate the total time she took to reach San Francisco from New Orleans?
[Answer]To travel from New Orleans to New York, Sue took 3 / 4 * 24 hours = 18 hours. If she stayed in New York for 16 hours, Sue's total time to travel from New Orleans to San Francisco is: 18 hours from New Orleans to New York + 16 hours in New York + 24 hours from New York to San Francisco = 58 hours. The answer is 58.
