free throws

Answer 1

45

Explanation:

You want to know the expected number of free throws Cynthia will make in 58 attempts, if her success rate is 37 out of 48.

Fraction

We assume the number of successful free throws is proportional to the number of attempts:

37/48 = x/58

x = 37/48·58 ≈ 45

Cynthia could be expected to make 45 free throws this season.
