Question

A. 75/100
B. 75%
C. 25%
D. 25/100

Answer 1

To find the fraction of penalty shots missed, subtract the number of shots made from the total number of shots and express it as a fraction. To find the percentage of penalty shots missed, divide the number of shots missed by the total number of shots and multiply by 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the fraction of penalty shots missed, we subtract the number of shots made from the total number of shots and express it as a fraction. In this case, the team missed 100 - 25 = 75 shots. So, the fraction of penalty shots missed is 75/100 or three-fourths.

To find the percentage of penalty shots missed, we divide the number of shots missed by the total number of shots and multiply by 100. In this case, the team missed (75/100) x 100 = 75% of the penalty shots. So, the percentage of penalty shots missed is 75%.
