Question

Compare the rates to find which is greater. 16 baskets in 22 shots or 9 baskets in 12 shots

Answer 1

9 baskets in 12 shots.

Explanation:

To compare the rates, we simply divide the baskets by number of shots taken:

`(16)/(22) = 0.73`

`(9)/(12) = 0.75`

Obviously, 0.75 > 0.72, so 9 baskets in 12 shots has a higher rate.
