Question

eve plays basketball. she makes 4 free throws for every 3 free throws that she misses. if she missed 24 free throws at her last practice, how many free throws did she make?​

Answer 1

32 free throws

Explanation:

Answer 2

She made 32 free throw shots.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, one can form the general equation;

`(made)/(missed)`

Substitute in the given values;

`(4)/(3)`

Assuming that the rates at which this proportion exists is constant, and one knows the number she missed, but not the number she made then one can say;

`(made)/(missed)= (4)/(3) = (made)/(24)`

Solve the proportion using cross products;

`(4)/(3)=(made)/(24)\\\\\\(4)(24)=(3)(made)\\\\96=3made`

Inverse operations,

`96=3made\\/3\\\\32=made`
