Question

John kept track of how many baskets were made in a basketball game. After 4 minutes, 5 baskets were made. How long did it take until there were 12 baskets made?

Answer 1

Your answer will be 9 and a half or 10 minutes.

Why? Well, Follow the steps below:

First, you have 4 minutes per 5 baskets. 5+5=10, so 4+4=8. He's tracked 10 baskets so far.

Now, you have 10 baskets. You're looking for 12. 5-3=2.

Then, for 2 baskets, it should've been a half of a minute to one minute.

Put it together, and you've got 9 1/2 to 10 minutes.

I hope this helps!
