Question

On Monday Allison made 12 out of the 22 basketball shots she attempted. At this rate how many shots will Allison make on Tuesday, if she attempts 30 basketball shots?

Answer 1

16 shots

Explanation:

She made 12 out of 22, what is that in percentage?

We will divide 12 and 22 and multiply by 100.

So

12/22 = 0.5455 * 100 = 54.55%

Around 54.55% of shots are made by Allison.

Out of 30 shots, how many will she make at this rate?? We simply multiply "30" with the original rate (12/22) we got:

`(12)/(22)*30=16.36`

She will make about 16.36 shots from 30 shots. We can safely assume 16 shots to be made (out of 30)
