Time (m) Number of Free Throws

To find the ratio of free throws made to time, we can divide the number of free throws by the time:
For 3 minutes, the ratio is 4/3.
To find out how many free throws Larry can make in 15 minutes, we can multiply the ratio by 15:
(4/3) * 15 = 20
Therefore, Larry can make 20 free throws in 15 minutes.
To determine how many free throws Larry can make in 15 minutes, let's complete the ratio table.
Time (m) Number of Free Throws
3 4
15 ?
Since the ratio between time and number of free throws is constant (4 free throws in 3 minutes), we can set up a proportion to find the missing value.
(15 minutes / 3 minutes) = (number of free throws / 4 free throws)
Now, we can solve for the missing value.
(15 minutes / 3 minutes) = (number of free throws / 4 free throws)
Cross-multiplying, we get:
15 * 4 = 3 * (number of free throws)
60 = 3 * (number of free throws)
Dividing both sides by 3:
60 / 3 = (number of free throws)
20 = (number of free throws)
Therefore, Larry can make 20 free throws in 15 minutes.
To determine how many free throws Larry can make in 15 minutes, we need to determine the ratio of free throws to time.
We can do this by finding the ratio of free throws made to the time taken for each interval.
In the given table, we have the ratio of 4 free throws in 3 minutes. To find the ratio for 15 minutes, we can set up a proportion using the ratio from the given table.
Cross-multiplying the proportion:
Time (3 min) x Free Throws (4) = Time (15 min) x Free Throws (x)
3 * 4 = 15 * x
12 = 15x
To find x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 15:
12/15 = x
x = 0.8 (or 4/5)
Therefore, Larry can make approximately 0.8 (or 4/5) free throws in 15 minutes.
