Question

Jay made 8 of 10 free throws. Kim made 25 of 45. Who made free throws at the better rate? How do you know?

Answer 1

Jay made more because he/she has a better Rate of 80% and Kim has a worse rate because 25/45 is a 55.5% Rate

Answer 2

Jay made free throws at a better rate.

Explanation:

Jay made free throws at a better rate because

Jay =
`(8)/(10)` = 0.8 which then equals a rate of 80% accuracy

Kim =
`(25)/(45)` = 0.56 which then equals a rate of 56% accuracy

Because Jay has a higher accuracy percentage for free throws made. He made the free throws at a better rate.

Hope it helps!
