Question

A basketball player made 36 free throws in 16 games. find the ratio of free throws to games.

a. 4:9
c. 6:4
b. 9:4
d. 9:5

Answer 1

36/16=9/4. answer Choice B

Answer 2

Answer: b. 9:4

Explanation:

Given: The number of free throws = 36

The number of games = 16

We know that the ratio of A to B is also given by :-

In Fraction form :
`(A)/(B)`

Now, the ratio of free throws to games will be:-

In Fraction form :
`\frac{\text{Number of free throws}}{\text{Total games}}`

`=(36)/(16)=(9)/(4)`= 9:4

Hence, the ratio of free throws to games =9:4
