Question

Myles can make 3 jump shots out of every 5 attempted. Ashely an make 5 jump shots out of every 7 attempted. They both took 35 jump shots. Who made more?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Myles.......make 3 shots for every 5 attempted....took 35 shots...

35/5 * 3 = 7 * 3 = 21 jump shots made.....or basically take 3/5 of 35 which equals 21

Ashley...makes 5 shots for every 7 attempts...took 35 shots....

35/7 * 5 = 5 * 5 = 25 jump shots made.....or 5/7 of 35 which equals 25

so Ashley made more shots <====
