Question

) Tulsi and Gary are competing in a basketball free throw competition. Tulsi's ratio of

free throws made to free throws missed is 3 to 5. Gary's ratio of free throws made
to free throws missed is 10 to 15. Who has the better ratio for making free throws?

Answer 1

Gary.

Explanation:

Tulsi's ratio is 3/5, which is 0.6, or 60%

Gary's ratio is 10/15, which is 2/3=0.666 or 66%

We know that 2/3>3/5, thus Gary's ratio is better.
