The basketball player missed 1 out of 6 free throws, so he missed 1/6 of his free throws. To find the percentage, we need to divide the number of free throws missed by the total number of free throws made and missed.
1 / (1+5) = 1/6
To express this as a percentage, we multiply by 100:
1/6 * 100 = 16.66...
So, the basketball player missed approximately 16.66% of his free throws.
