I have a math world problem, can you help me?

Question

Simone scored 14 points in her basketball game. Baskets are woth 1 point, 2 points, and 3 points. SHow five different ways she could have scored her 14 points. In order to receive all ten points, your answer must be logical, organzied, and cleary explained.

Answer 1

1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1

1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2

1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,3

1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2

1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,3

Answer 2

The possibilities are:

3+3+3+3+2 = 14
2+2+2+2+2+2+2 = 14
1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1= 14
2+3+2+3+2+2 =14
1+2+3+1+2+3+2 = 14

Answer 3

The first three people are mean, this is in homework help, and thats what you want.

All you have to do is add 1, 2 and 3 five different ways to make 14



1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1=14
2+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1=14
2+2+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1=14
2+2+2+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1=14
2+2+2+2+1+1+1+1+1+1=14
2+2+2+2+2+1+1+1+1=14
2+2+2+2+2+2+1+1=14
2+2+2+2+2+2+2=14
3+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1=14
3+2+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1=14
3+3+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1=14
3+3+2+1+1+1+1+1+1=14
3+3+3+3+2=14
3+3+3+3+1+1=14

Are Just a few.

Answer 4

There are many ways. You could set up a chart like this:

1 pointers 2 pointers 3 pointers total
14 0 0 14
12 1 0 14
11 0 1 14
10 2 0 14
9 1 1 14

That is 5 ways that it could be done. You can see how to do the rest (I hope).

Answer 5

3+3+3+3+2+1=14
3+3+3+3+1+14
3+3+3+2+2+1=14
3+3+3+2+1+1=14
3+3+3+1+1+1+1=14
you could explain that you made an organized list, beginning w 3 pt shots although the person does not hve to make the shots in this order. you could go on this way...
you simply decompose the last numbers because 3s can be easily decomposed as 1 or 2 pointers. as you move through the organized list you would then decompose 2s, then the 3s...

Answer 6

14 total

14 1 pointers (14*1)=14
7 2 pointers (7*2)=14
1 2pointer 12 1 pointer (1*2)+12*1)=14
2 2 pointers 10 1 pointers= (2*2) +(10*1) =14
3 2 pointers 8 1 pointers (3*2) +(8*1) =14
4 2 pointers 6 1 pointers =4*2+(6*1) =14
5 2 pointers 4 1 pointers =(5*2) +(4*1)=14
and ther are more combos---havent even used the 3 popinter yet

Answer 7

Yup, yup!
14 = 1+2+3+1+2+3+1+1
14 = 2+2+2+2+2+2+2
14 = 2+3+2+3+2+2
14 = 3+3+3+3+2
14 = 1+1+1+1+1+1+1......(until it equals 14)

Hmm..i don't know, there are so many answers!
are there more restrictions on the questions?

Answer 8

Simone could have gotten 14, 1 point shots
7, 2 point shots
6, 2 point and 2, 1 point
5, 2 point 1, 3 point and 1, 1 point
4, 2 point and 2, 3 point
3, 2 point 2, 3 point and 2, 1 point shots
Good Luck!!

Answer 9

3, 3, 3, 2
3, 3, 3, 1, 1
that is all the 3 three pointers

3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2
3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1
3, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1
3, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1
3, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1
that is all with 2 three pointers

you do the rest

Answer 10

She could have scored the following

14 one point baskets
7 two point baskets
4 three point baskets and 1 two point basket
3 three point baskets, 1 two point basket, 3 one point basket
8 one point baskets and 2 three point baskets

Answer 11

14-1p. shots=14
7-2 p.shots=14
4-3 p.shots=12+1-2p. shots=14
6-2p. shot=12+ 6-1p. shot=14
3-3 shot=9 +1-1p.shot=10+ 2-2 p.shot=14


p.=points
