Answer:


\huge\boxed{\sf 3 \ baskets}

Explanation:

Let the baskets missed in game 2 be x.

Says that, the shooting of both the games were accurate.

So,

Using proportionality:


\displaystyle (Baskets \ made \ in \ game \ 1)/(Baskets \ missed \ in \ game \ 1 ) =(Baskets \ made \ in \ game \ 2)/(Baskets \ missed \ in \ game 2) \\\\(15)/(5) =(x)/(1) \\\\Cross \ Multiply\\\\15 * 1 = 5 * x\\\\15 = 5x\\\\Divide \ 5 \ to \ both \ sides\\\\3 = x\\\\x = 3\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}
