You and your friend made up a basketball shooting game. every shot made from the free throw line is worth 3 points, and every shot made from the half-court mark is worth 6 points. write an equation that represents the total number of points, p, if f represents the number of shots made from the free throw line, and h represents the number of shots made from half-court.

The total points that is incurred through participation in this game is calculated by summing up the points made from the free throw line and those from half-court. If f represent the number of shots from the free throw line, the total points from these shots is 3f. Also, if h represents the number of shots made from half-court, the number of points made is equal to 6h. The equation therefore is,

               P = 3f + 6h

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.
