To complete the ratio table, we can find out how many free throws Larry can make in 15 minutes based on the information given that he can shoot 4 free throws in 3 minutes.
First, we can find the rate at which Larry shoots free throws:
\[
\text{Rate} = \frac{4 \text{ free throws}}{3 \text{ minutes}} = \frac{4}{3} \text{ free throws per minute}
\]
Now, we can see how many free throws he would make in 15 minutes:
\[
\text{Number of free throws} = \left(\frac{4}{3} \text{ free throws per minute}\right) \times 15 \text{ minutes}
\]
Calculating that:
\[
\text{Number of free throws} = \frac{4 \times 15}{3} = \frac{60}{3} = 20
\]
Now we complete the ratio table:
\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|}
\hline
\text{Time (m)} & \text{Number of Free Throws} \\
\hline
3 & 4 \\
15 & 20 \\
\hline
\end{array}
\]
Thus, Larry can make **20 free throws in 15 minutes**.
