Question

Alice plays basketball. In one game she shoots 21 free throws and makes about 81% of them. Estimate how many free throws she makes.

Answer 1

To estimate how many free throws Alice makes, we can multiply the total number of free throws by the percentage she makes:

Number of free throws made = 21 * 81/100 = 17.01

Rounded to the nearest whole number, Alice makes approximately 17 free throws.
