To determine how many free throws Larry can make in 15 minutes, we can use the ratio between time and number of free throws.
Given that Larry can shoot 4 free throws in 3 minutes, we can use this ratio to find out how many free throws he can make in 15 minutes.
Since 15 minutes is 5 times greater than 3 minutes (15/3 = 5), we can multiply the number of free throws (4) by 5 to find the number of free throws Larry can make in 15 minutes.
Number of Free Throws in 15 minutes = 4 * 5 = 20
Therefore, Larry can make 20 free throws in 15 minutes.
To determine how many free throws Larry can make in 15 minutes, we can use the given information from the table.
The ratio in the table is 4 free throws in 3 minutes. We can find the unit rate of free throws per minute by dividing the number of free throws by the time:
4 free throws / 3 minutes = 4/3 free throws per minute
To find out how many free throws Larry can make in 15 minutes, we can multiply the unit rate by 15:
(4/3) free throws per minute * 15 minutes = 20 free throws
Therefore, Larry can make 20 free throws in 15 minutes.
