Answer:

21/50

Step by step explanation:

The probability that a 58% free-throw shooter will miss her next free throw is equal to 1 minus the probability that she will make it.

If she has a 58% chance of making a free throw, then she has a 42% chance of missing it.

Therefore, the probability that she will miss her next free throw is 0.42

42/100 = (42 ÷ 2) / (100 ÷ 2) = 21/50
