ANSWER: 27 Free Throws
IF Jill Makes 6 free throw shots out of every ten she attempts, how many will she make if she attempts.....
A-60 Free throws?
B-36 Free Throws?
C-45 free throws?
You could use proportion to solve for these. 6/10 = x/Amount attempt.[solve for x in the formula]
18 out of 24 free throws. What %of her free throws does she make.
To find out how many free throws Jill will make when attempting a certain number, we need to use the given information that she makes 6 out of every 10 attempts. We can use proportions to solve these questions.
A) If Jill attempts 60 free throws, we can set up a proportion:
6/10 = x/60
Cross multiplying, we get:
10x = 6 * 60
10x = 360
Dividing both sides by 10, we find that Jill will make 36 free throws if she attempts 60.
B) If Jill attempts 36 free throws, we can set up a proportion again:
6/10 = x/36
Cross multiplying, we get:
10x = 6 * 36
10x = 216
Dividing both sides by 10, we find that Jill will make 21.6 free throws. Since she cannot make a fraction of a free throw, we will round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Jill will make 21 free throws if she attempts 36.
C) If Jill attempts 45 free throws, the proportion is:
6/10 = x/45
Cross multiplying:
10x = 6 * 45
10x = 270
Dividing both sides by 10, we find that Jill will make 27 free throws if she attempts 45.
Therefore, the answers are:
A) Jill will make 36 free throws if she attempts 60.
B) Jill will make 21 free throws if she attempts 36.
C) Jill will make 27 free throws if she attempts 45.
