Valorie made five times more baskets than her brother, Vance.

The equation v = 5n, where v represents the number of baskets Valorie made, and n represents the number of baskets Vance made, shows this relationship.

If Valorie made 65 baskets, how many baskets did Vance make?
A.
13
B.
60
C.
10
D.
70

1 answer

To find out how many baskets Vance made, we can substitute the given value of Valorie's baskets (v) into the equation:

65 = 5n

Now, divide both sides of the equation by 5 to solve for n:

n = 65 / 5

n = 13

Therefore, Vance made 13 baskets, so the correct answer is A. 13
