To solve this problem, we can use a tape diagram to organize our thinking and visualize the relationship between shots and baskets.
First, let's start by drawing a bar to represent the total number of shots. We'll divide this bar into smaller sections to represent the shots made and the shots missed.
Let's assign the value of each section based on the given information. We know that for every 5 shots Brianna takes, she makes 2 baskets. So, we can split the total number of shots bar into groups of 5.
[ 5 | 5 | 5 | ... ]
Now, within each group of 5 shots, we know that she makes 2 baskets. We can represent this with a smaller section inside each group.
[ 5 | 5 | 5 | ... ]
[2 | 2 | 2 | ... ]
The problem states that Brianna made 8 baskets. We can show this by filling in the smaller sections with the number 8.
[ 5 | 5 | 5 | ... ]
[2 | 2 | 2 | 2 ]
8
Now, using the diagram, we can count the number of sections in the total shots bar to find the number of shots Brianna took.
Based on the diagram, we can see that there are 4 sections of 5 shots. Therefore, the total number of shots Brianna took is 4 * 5 = 20 shots.
So, Breanna took 20 shots to make 8 baskets.
