Let's represent the number of shots Breanna takes with a tape diagram.

We can divide the tape diagram into equal parts for every 5 shots she takes. Since Breanna makes 2 baskets for every 5 shots, we can represent the number of baskets she makes with a smaller section.

Using this information, the tape diagram would look like this:

🏀🏀 | ️🏀🏀 | 🏀🏀 | 🏀🏀 | 🏀🏀 | 🏀🏀 | 🏀🏀 | ️🏀🏀

Here, each | represents 5 shots, and each 🏀 represents a basket made.

Since Breanna made 8 baskets, we can see that she took 8 baskets worth of 5 shots, which is a total of 8 * 5 = <<8*5=40>>40 shots.

Thus, Breanna took a total of 40 shots.

I apologize for the confusion. Since Breanna makes 2 baskets for every 5 shots, we can set up a ratio:

2/5 = 8/x

To solve for x (the total number of shots), we can cross-multiply:

2x = 5 * 8
2x = 40

Dividing both sides of the equation by 2, we find that:

x = 20

Therefore, Breanna took a total of 20 shots.
