To find the number of free throws Nancy can make in 10 minutes, we look at the ratio between the number of free throws and the number of minutes in the table.
From the table, we can see that Nancy can make 7 free throws in 1 minute. We can set up the following proportion:
7 free throws / 1 minute = x free throws / 10 minutes
We can cross multiply to solve for x:
7 * 10 = 1 * x
70 = x
So, Nancy can make 70 free throws in 10 minutes.
To find out how many free throws Nancy can make in 10 minutes, we need to look at the ratio between the number of free throws and the number of minutes.
From the table, we can see that the ratio of free throws to minutes is 7:1. This means that for every 1 minute, Nancy can make 7 free throws.
To find out how many free throws she can make in 10 minutes, we can set up an equivalent ratio.
7 free throws : 1 minute = ? : 10 minutes
To find the missing value, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 10:
(7 free throws : 1 minute) x 10 = ? x 10
This simplifies to:
70 free throws = ? : 10 minutes
So, the answer is that Nancy can make 70 free throws in 10 minutes.
To use the table to find the number of free throws Nancy can make in 10 minutes, we can use ratios.
Looking at the table, we see that in 1 minute, Nancy can make 7 free throws. We want to know how many she can make in 10 minutes.
To find the equivalent ratio for 10 minutes, we can set up a proportion:
1 minute is to 7 free throws as 10 minutes is to x free throws.
This can be written as: 1/7 = 10/x
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
1 * x = 7 * 10
x = 70
Therefore, Nancy can make 70 free throws in 10 minutes.
