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

Question

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 60 baskets, how many baskets did Vance make?

Answer 1

If v represents the number of baskets Valorie made, and n represents the number of baskets Vance made, then v = 5n.

If Valorie made 60 baskets, then 60 = 5n.

By dividing both sides of the equation by 5, n = 12.

Therefore, Vance made 12 baskets. Answer: \boxed{12}.
