Jay made 8 out of 10 free throws. Kim made 25 out of 45. Who made free throws at the better rate? How do you know?

Jay. You have to make the denaminators equal and the least common denaminator is 90 so jay would have 72 out of 90 free throws and kim would have 50 out of 90 free throws. You have to multiply 8 and 10 by 9 for jay and multiply 25 and 45 by 2 for kim.
