Question

three basketball players take different numbers of shots during practice. They each record the number of baskets made out of numbers taken.

Answer 1

Diego- Fraction: 21/60 Decimal: .35 Percent: 35%
Amare- Fraction: 16/40 Decimal: .4 Percent: 40%
Paula- Fraction: 17/50 Decimal: .34 Percent: 34%
Amare 40%, Diego 35%, and Paula 34%

Answer 2

Diego - 21 out of 60 baskets made
Amare - 16 out of 40 baskets made
Paula - 17 out of 50 shots made

To write as a fraction, put one number over the other and simplify for each:

Fractions:

Diego: 21/60 (both divisible by 3) = 7/20
Amare: 16/40 (both divisible by 8) = 2/5
Paula: 17/50 (already in simplest form)

Decimals (solve the fraction):

Diego: 21/60 = 0.35
Amare: 16/40 = 0.4
Paula: 17/50 = 0.34

Percentages (multiply decimals by 100):

Diego: 0.35 x 100 = 35%
Amare: 0.4 x 100 = 40%
Paula: 0.34 x 100 = 34%

Percentages from least to greatest:

(Same as ordering decimals least to greatest)

34% < 35% < 40%

Paula < Diego < Amare
