Answer: She made 36 out of 48 throws.

Explanation:

Given : Jenny made 3 out of every 4 free throws she took.

Let x be the number of made out of 48 throws.

Then by using direct variation, we have the following equation :-

$(x)/(48)=(3)/(4)\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=(3)/(4)*48\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=36$

Hence, she made 36 out of 48 throws.
