Question

You have made 3 out of 10 of your last free throws. How many free throws can you expect to make if you shoot 100 free throws?

a) 30
b) 50
c) 60
d) 75

Answer 1

a) 30, do you need to know how?

Answer 2

Sure Why Not Thx :D

Answer 3

Since 10 free throws were attempted, and 100 are now being attempted, 100 divided by 10 is 10, so multiply the 3 by 10 to get 30 free throws out of 100

Answer 4

It makes sense once you get used to it

Answer 5

Yes It sure does ! :D

Answer 6

:D

Answer 7

I get it

Answer 8

There is another thing called a proportion, it's a bit more complicated, but also is easy once you get used to it. 3 free throws made out of 10 can be a fraction, which is \[\frac{ 3 }{ 10 }\]

Answer 9

Ok

Answer 10

That 1 way cool

Answer 11

Since at first you do not know how many free throws were made out of 100, let x represent the value you are trying to find, which is \[\frac{ x }{ 100 }\]

Answer 12

Both fractions are equal

Answer 13

Cool

Answer 14

Thank You So Much SO Kind, Go Explanation Good Job Thx Love It :D * ~ * ^ _ ^!!!

Answer 15

So \[\frac{ 3 }{ 10 }\] = \[\frac{ x }{ 100 }\]

Answer 16

There is one more step to that

Answer 17

Whats That????????

Answer 18

There is a thing called "cross multiplying" and that would be multiplying 10 and x, and 3 and 100. 10 multiplied by x is 10x, and 3 multiplied by 100 is 300. This would be \[\frac{ 10x }{ 10 }\] = \[\frac{ 300 }{ 10 }\] 300/10 means divide, so divide both to get 30
