During a recent free throw basketball tournament, jessica makes 27 out of 40 free throws. Express this amount as a decimal.

Divide.

I got 0.675?

Right. :-)

To express the number of free throws Jessica made as a decimal, you need to divide the number of successful free throws by the total number of attempts.

Jessica made 27 out of 40 free throws, so the decimal form can be found by dividing 27 by 40:

27 / 40 = 0.675

Hence, the decimal representation of Jessica's successful free throws is 0.675.
