Question

Please need help with son's math question!!!!!!!! If any one could help with the following :

The number of free throws Lee made was 2/3 the number of free throws Brian made. What is the ratio of Lee's free throws to Brian's free throws? If Brian made 15 free throws, how many did Lee make?

Answer 1

10

Explanation:

He makes 10 because that is 2/3 of 15.

Answer 2

L = lees free throws

L = 2/3 Brians free throws

multiply by 3 on each side

3L = 2B

ratio is 3:2

if brian makes 15

3L = 2 (15)

3L = 30

divide by 3

L = 30/3 = 10

Lee makes 10

Answer: ratio 3:2

lee makes 10
