C) 4

x/10 = 6/15

x = (6/15) (10)

x = 60/15 = 4

It is given Daniel made 6 out of 15 free throw shots.

We need to find how many out of the next 10 free throw shots would you expect him to make .let us suppose this number be x .

We can form a proportion with given information's :


(x)/(10) =(6)/(15)

This is of the form
(a)/(b) =(c)/(d)

We can cross multiply to get ad=bc.

Cross multiplying we have:

15x= 60

Dividing by 15 we have:

x= 4.

Options C ) 4 is the right answer.
