Answer:

(A) Hank

(B) Hank

Explanation:

Hank made 6 out of 8 foul shots Nelly made 8 out of 20 foul shots

(A) Who scored the most baskets?

Converting the shots to decimal

Hank = 6/8 = 3/4 = 0.75

Nelly = 8/20 = 1/4 = 0.40

The person who scored the most baskets is Hank

(B) Compare Hank and Nelly to determine whose son is more accurate

Determining who is more accurate,

Hank = 6/8 = 3/4

This means out of every 4 shots, Hank scored 3

Nelly = 8/20 = 1/4

This means out of every 4 shots, Nelly scored 1

Therefore, Hank is more accurate
