Answer:

48 free throws

Explanation:

25:36 is the ratio

Now divide 25 by 36 to find the probability of the basketball player scoring:

25/36=0.694

Now multiply this probability with the total number of free throws (70) in order to get the number of free throws that would be made:

70 * 0.694 = 48.6

You can't make 48.6 free throws, so you have to round down to the nearest integer since you can't make 0.6 free throws.

Hence, 48.6 ==> 48 free throws
