To determine how many free throws Larry can make in 15 minutes, we can use the concept of equivalent ratios.
In the given table, we know that Larry can shoot 4 free throws in 3 minutes. We need to find the equivalent ratio for 15 minutes.
To find the equivalent ratio, we need to calculate the scaling factor by dividing the desired time (15 minutes) by the given time (3 minutes):
Scaling factor = Desired time / Given time
Scaling factor = 15 minutes / 3 minutes
Scaling factor = 5
Now, we can multiply the scaling factor by the number of free throws for the given time to find the number of free throws for the desired time:
Number of free throws for desired time = Scaling factor x Number of free throws for given time
Number of free throws for desired time = 5 x 4
Number of free throws for desired time = 20
Using this calculation, we can complete the ratio table:
Time (m) Number of Free Throws
3 4
15 20

Therefore, the completed ratio table is:
