In a basketball game Caroline made 14 out of 20 shots and I made 16 out of 24 shots explain how you can tell if the two players made a proportional number of shots

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

NOT proportional

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem:

- Caroline made 14 out of 20 shots

- You made 16 out of 24 shots

We want to see if the fractions of succesfull made shots is proportional or not.

We can do it as follows:

- The fractions of shots made by Caroline is:

$c=(14)/(20)$

We can simplify this fraction by dividing both numerators and denominators by 2; we get:

$c=(7)/(10)$

Which cannot be further simplified.

- Instead, the fractions of shots made by you is:

$y=(16)/(24)$

We can simplify this fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by 8; then we get:

$y=(2)/(3)$

Which cannot be further simplified.

By comparing the two fractions, we notice that they are different: therefore, the two fractions are NOT proportional.

A trapezoid has an area of 13.5 square inches. If the bases are 3 and 6 inches what is the height?

Answers

well the formula is : b1+b2/2 (h)

so the height would be solved as :
13.5 = 3+6/2 (h)
13.5 = 9/2 (h)
h = (13.5)/(9/2)
h = (13.5) x (2/9) *reciprocal*
h = (27) / (9)
h = 3

Maya is driving 120 miles to her grandmother's house. She drives 35% of the distance before stopping for lunch. How far does she drive before lunch?

Answers

The percentage is calculated by dividing the required value by the total value and multiplying by 100.

35% of 120 miles

= 42 miles

The distance traveled before stopping for lunch is 42 miles.

What is a percentage?

The percentage is calculated by dividing the required value by the total value and multiplying by 100.

Example:

Requiredpercentage value = a

total value = b

Percentage = a/b x 100

Example:

50% = 50/100 = 1/2

25% = 25/100 = 1/4

20% = 20/100 = 1/5

10% = 10/100 = 1/10

We have,

Totaldistance = 120 miles

She drives 35% of the distance before stopping for lunch.

This means,

35% of 120 miles

= 35/100 x 120

= 42 miles

The distance traveled before stopping for lunch is 42 miles.

Thus,

The distance traveled before stopping for lunch is 42 miles.

She drives 35% of the time before lunch.

= 35% of 120 miles.

= 35/100 * 120 . Simply cancel off each zero at the bottom and top.

= 35/10 * 12 = 3.5 * 12 = 42. Using your calculator.

So she drove 42 miles before lunch.
