Breanna plays on her middle school basketball team. For every 5 shots she takes, she makes 2 baskets. If she makes 8 baskets, how many shots did she take? Use a tape diagram to help organize your thinking. (1 point)

Answer 1

To represent the given information using a tape diagram, we can divide it into 5 equal parts to represent the 5 shots.

Each part represents one shot. To indicate the number of baskets made, we shade in 2 parts out of the 5 parts. Thus, a shaded part represents one made basket.

Since she made 8 baskets, we shade in 8 parts out of the total unknown number of shots.

Therefore, there are 8 shaded parts, representing 8 made baskets.

Since each shaded part represents one made basket, there are 8 shots.

So, Breanna took 8 shots. Answer: \boxed{8}.
