Answer: 32

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Tenisha successfully made 24 out of 30 free throws during the first half of her basketball season. The fraction for her successful free throws will be:

= 24/30

= 4/5

If she shoots 40 free throws during the second half of the season and she continues to make them at the same rate, the number of free throws that she should Tenisha expect to make during the second half of the season will be:

= 4/5 × 40

= 32
