chris made 4 times as many putts as paul made at golf practice. together they made 60 putts. which equation below canbe used to find the number of putts paul made?
A. 5p=60
B. 4p=60
C. 4+p=60
D. 4p=60+p

Respuesta :

A is the correct answer.  To express the problem, you can think of the number of putts Paul made as and the number of putts made by Chris as 4p (since it was 4 times as many).  Their total number of putts is 60.  Write it like this:

4p + p = 60

This simplifies:

5p = 60
