Larry can shoot 4 free throws in 3 minutes. Complete the ratio table to determine how many free throws he can make in 15 minutes.
Since Larry can shoot 4 free throws in 3 minutes, it means he can make 4/3 = 1.33 free throws in 1 minute.
To determine how many free throws he can make in 15 minutes, we can set up a ratio table:
1 minute: 1.33 free throws
15 minutes: x free throws
To find the value of x, we can use cross-multiplication:
1 minute * x free throws = 1.33 free throws * 15 minutes
x = (1.33 free throws * 15 minutes) / 1 minute
x = 19.95 free throws
Therefore, Larry can make approximately 20 free throws in 15 minutes.
To complete the ratio table, we need to find the ratio of free throws to minutes. Here's the completed table:
| Minutes | Free Throws |
|---------|-------------|
| 3 | 4 |
| 15 | ?? |
To find out how many free throws Larry can make in 15 minutes, we can set up a proportion. The ratio of free throws to minutes is the same, so we can say:
4/3 = x/15,
where x represents the number of free throws Larry can make in 15 minutes.
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and solve for x:
3x = 4 * 15,
3x = 60,
x = 60/3,
x = 20.
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 find the ratio of free throws made to time for 3 minutes and then use it to calculate for 15 minutes.
Given that Larry can shoot 4 free throws in 3 minutes, we can create a ratio table.
First, let's find the ratio for 3 minutes:
Free throws made: 4
Time: 3 minutes
To find the ratio, divide the number of free throws made by the time taken:
Ratio = Free throws made / Time
= 4 / 3
= 4:3
Now, we can use this ratio to determine how many free throws Larry can make in 15 minutes.
To calculate the number of free throws for 15 minutes, we need to multiply the ratio by the time:
Number of free throws = Ratio * Time
= 4:3 * 15 minutes
To find out how many free throws Larry can make in 15 minutes, multiply the ratio by 15:
Number of free throws = (4/3) * 15
= 60/3
= 20
Therefore, Larry can make 20 free throws in 15 minutes.
