Answer: 81 consecutive free throws

Step-by-step explanation: Since 78 of 90 attempted free throws equals to 88.89%, then try adding 3 to 78, (78 + 3) which equals to 81. If you convert 81/90 to a percentage, you get 90%. So your final result or answer is 81 consecutive free throws.

Tip: To convert a fraction to a percentage, divide the denominator by the numerator and you should get a decimal quotient. Lastly, just add a percentage sign.
