Question

Mark had a ratio of 4 misses to 3 makes when he shot free throws in the last game. If he maintains this ratio, how many free throws will he make if he shoots 154 total free throws?

Answer 1

88 misses / 66 makes

Explanation:

Mark's ratio consists of 4+3=7 total shots.

154 shots would be 22*7 since the ratio would remain proportional

Therefore, (22*4)/(22*3)=88/66 will be the ratio of free-throw misses to makes. This means Mark will make 88 misses and 66 makes if he does 154 total free throws.
