Molly - 20/4

Nico - 42/6

Now, lets do cross multiplication.

20/4 = x/1 42/6 = x/1

4(x) = 20(1) 6(x) = 42(1)

4x=20 6x = 42

4x/4 = 20/4 6x/6 = 42/6

x=5 x=7

Therefore, Nico shot 2 more baskets per minute than Molly.

Answer:

Nico shoots 2 more basket per minute.

Explanation:

Given,

Molly shot 20 baskets in 4 minutes,


\text{Molly's shoots per minute}=(20)/(4)=5

Nico shot 42 baskets in 6 minutes.


\text{Nico's shoots per minute}=(42)/(6)=7

∵ 7 - 5 = 2

Hence, Nico shoots 2 more basket per minute.
