I need help quickly!!

Kira studied data collected on the school basketball team for one season. She noticed that a player on the team had 13 successful free throws out of a total of 20 attempted free throws. To find the percentage of the total free throws attempted by this player that were successful, Kira set up the equivalent ratios below?

13/20 = m/n

Answer 1

Explanation:

so, to find the % of successful free throws out of the total number of free throws, we only need to do the division as indicated by the ratio :

13/20 = 0.65

so, 0.65 parts of of the whole 1 were successful.

as % is expressed in parts of 100, we need to multiply this statement by 100 :

65 parts of the whole 100 were successful.

so, 65% were successful.

Answer 2

Explanation:

To find the equivalent ratio for 13/20 in terms of m/n, we can set up the proportion:

13/20 = m/n

To solve for m/n, we can cross-multiply:

13n = 20m

Then, we can divide both sides by 13 to isolate m/n:

m/n = 20/13

So, the equivalent ratio for 13/20 in terms of m/n is 20/13.
