Question

Judith makes 6 out of every 10 freethrows that she attempts. At thisrate, how many free throws shouldJudith make after 40 attempts?A 24B 28C 30D 36

Answer 1

According to the problem, we get the following diagram:

now, by cross-multiplication, we get:

(40)(6) = x(10)

solving for x, we get:

`x\text{ =}((40)(6))/(10)`

this is equivalent to:

`x\text{ =}((40)(6))/(10)=24`

so that, we can conclude that the correct answer is:

24
