Statistics: The following table gives the free throws attempted (FTA) and the free throws made (FTM) for the top five players in the NBA for a recent season. Calculate the free throw percentage for each player by writing the FTM over the FTA and converting this fraction to a decimal
Player FTM FTA
Allan Houston 363 395
Ray Allen 316 345
Steve Nash 308 339
Troy Hudson 208 231
Reggie Miller 207 230
Statistics: The following table gives the winning percentages of the top five coaches in NFL history. What fraction of his games has each coach won?
Coach Percentage
Don Shula 0.676
George Halas 0.672
Tom Landry 0.606
Curly Lambeau 0.624
Paul Brown 0.667
an a-frame cabin has a triangular front with a base of 30 ft and a height of 20 ft. If the front is to be glass that cost $3 per square foot, what will the glass cost?

To calculate the free throw percentage for each player, you need to divide the number of free throws made (FTM) by the number of free throws attempted (FTA) for each player and then convert the fraction to a decimal.
1. Allan Houston: FTM = 363, FTA = 395
Free throw Percentage = FTM/FTA = 363/395 ≈ 0.919
2. Ray Allen: FTM = 316, FTA = 345
Free throw Percentage = FTM/FTA = 316/345 ≈ 0.915
3. Steve Nash: FTM = 308, FTA = 339
Free throw Percentage = FTM/FTA = 308/339 ≈ 0.909
4. Troy Hudson: FTM = 208, FTA = 231
Free throw Percentage = FTM/FTA = 208/231 ≈ 0.901
5. Reggie Miller: FTM = 207, FTA = 230
Free throw Percentage = FTM/FTA = 207/230 ≈ 0.900
Now, let's move on to the winning percentages of the NFL coaches.
To find the fraction of games won by each coach, you need to subtract the winning percentage from 1. The resulting fraction will represent the ratio of games won to games played for each coach.
1. Don Shula: Winning Percentage = 0.676
Games won = 1 - Winning Percentage = 1 - 0.676 ≈ 0.324
2. George Halas: Winning Percentage = 0.672
Games won = 1 - Winning Percentage = 1 - 0.672 ≈ 0.328
3. Tom Landry: Winning Percentage = 0.606
Games won = 1 - Winning Percentage = 1 - 0.606 ≈ 0.394
4. Curly Lambeau: Winning Percentage = 0.624
Games won = 1 - Winning Percentage = 1 - 0.624 ≈ 0.376
5. Paul Brown: Winning Percentage = 0.667
Games won = 1 - Winning Percentage = 1 - 0.667 ≈ 0.333
Finally, let's calculate the cost of the glass for the A-frame cabin.
The area of a triangle is given by the formula: Area = (base * height) / 2.
1. Base = 30 ft, Height = 20 ft
Area = (30 * 20) / 2 = 300 square feet
2. Glass cost per square foot = $3
Total glass cost = Area * Glass cost per square foot = 300 * $3 = $900
Therefore, the glass will cost $900 for the A-frame cabin.
