The answer is that he can shoot about 688 baskets in 5 hours. However the exact answer is 687.5 so I just rounded up 1.

Hey there! :D

Find the unit rate.

275/2= 137.5

Cade shoots 137.5 free throws per hour. Multiply that by 5 for 5 hours.

5*137.5= 687.5

He can shoot 687.5 free throws in one hour. You could just round that to 688.

I hope this helps!
