Answer 2

To find the percentage of free throws missed by the basketball player, you first determine how many he missed.

He made 5 out of 6 free throws, so:

Missed free throws = Total free throws - Made free throws
Missed free throws = 6 - 5 = 1

Next, to find the percentage of free throws he missed, you use the formula:

\[
\text{Percentage Missed} = \left( \frac{\text{Missed Free Throws}}{\text{Total Free Throws}} \right) \times 100
\]

Plugging in the values:

\[
\text{Percentage Missed} = \left( \frac{1}{6} \right) \times 100 \approx 16.67\%
\]

So the correct answer is approximately **16.67%**.

From the options provided, **16.66%** is the closest match.

Answer 3

To find the percentage of the land that is available for farming, you can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Percentage for Farming} = \left( \frac{\text{Farming Acres}}{\text{Total Acres}} \right) \times 100
\]

Given that the Santos family has 20 acres available for farming out of a total of 30 acres, you would calculate it as follows:

\[
\text{Percentage for Farming} = \left( \frac{20}{30} \right) \times 100
\]

Now simplify the fraction:

\[
\frac{20}{30} = \frac{2}{3} \approx 0.6667
\]

Now multiply by 100:

\[
0.6667 \times 100 \approx 66.67\%
\]

Among the options provided, the closest one is **66.66%**.
