1. The problem gives the points scored by players during halves of a basketball game and asks for calculations based on that. 2. (a) Courtney scored 6 points less than Ashley in the first half. Ashley scored 11 points, so Courtney scored $$11 - 6 = 5$$ points. 3. (b) Diane scored 3 points more than Britney in the first half. Britney scored 8 points, so Diane scored $$8 + 3 = 11$$ points. 4. (c) Emma scored 6 points in the first half. The team’s first half points are the sum of Ashley's, Britney's, Courtney's, Diane's, and Emma's points: $$11 + 8 + 5 + 11 + 6 = 41$$ points. 5. (d) The other team scored 3 points more than our team in the first half, so they scored $$41 + 3 = 44$$ points. 6. (e) The team scored 46 points in the second half. Courtney, Diane, and Emma together scored 20 points in the second half. So, Ashley and Britney together scored $$46 - 20 = 26$$ points in the second half. 7. (f) The number sentence for "The team scored 46 points in the second half, and they scored 11 points more than the other team. Therefore, the other team scored 35 points" is: $$46 - 11 = 35$$
