if a basketball player shoots 50 free throws and makes 23% of them,how many free throws did he make?
50 * .23 = ?
I don't know how the answer is possible in real life.
11.5
To find out how many free throws the basketball player made, we need to calculate 23% of 50.
Step 1: Convert 23% to decimal form. Divide 23 by 100: 23/100 = 0.23.
Step 2: Multiply the decimal by the total number of free throws attempted. 0.23 * 50 = 11.5.
Since we cannot make half of a free throw, we round the answer to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the basketball player made approximately 12 free throws.
