Question

Eff and Jennifer were shooting hoops. Jeff was able to shoot 28 baskets in 84 seconds. Jennifer was able to shoot 11 baskets in 66 seconds.

At what speed are both Jeff and Jennifer shooting baskets?

Answer 1

Jeff is shooting 1 basket every 3 seconds, and Jennifer is shooting 1 basket every 6 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jeff is shooting baskets at a rate of 28 baskets in 84 seconds, which simplifies to a speed of 1 basket every 3 seconds. To find this, divide the number of baskets by the number of seconds (28/84). Similarly, Jennifer is shooting baskets at a rate of 11 baskets in 66 seconds, which is equivalent to 1 basket every 6 seconds (11/66).
