Bobby made nine out of twelve free throws in his last basketball game.
What fraction of his free throws did Bobby make?
Question 5 options:
3/4
1/2
1/3
2/3
To find the fraction of free throws Bobby made, we need to divide the number of successful free throws (nine) by the total number of attempts (twelve).
So the fraction is 9/12.
To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3.
Dividing both 9 and 12 by 3, we get:
9/3 ÷ 12/3 = 3/4
Therefore, the fraction of free throws Bobby made is 3/4.
