Question

So far this season, Shawn has average 7 out of 11 free throws per game. based on his previous performance, how many free throws can Shawn expect to make if he takes 22 free throws in his next game?

Answer 1

You can set these equal to each other. The numerator is how many free throws Shawn makes and the denominator is total free throws. You can cross multiply and solve for x but it’s way easier to just see that 11*2 = 22 and then multiply 7*2 to get x which is 14. Hope this helped!
