Question

Kenny May 24 free throws in 2 minutes Scott made 55 free throws and 5 minutes who made more free throws per minute can you find the unit rate The number of free throws per minute hint divide

Answer 1

To find out who made more free throws per minute, we need to calculate the unit rate (free throws per minute) for both Kenny and Scott.

**Kenny:**
- Free throws made: 24
- Time: 2 minutes

Unit rate for Kenny:
\[
\text{Unit Rate} = \frac{\text{Total Free Throws}}{\text{Total Time}} = \frac{24 \text{ free throws}}{2 \text{ minutes}} = 12 \text{ free throws per minute}
\]

**Scott:**
- Free throws made: 55
- Time: 5 minutes

Unit rate for Scott:
\[
\text{Unit Rate} = \frac{\text{Total Free Throws}}{\text{Total Time}} = \frac{55 \text{ free throws}}{5 \text{ minutes}} = 11 \text{ free throws per minute}
\]

Now we can compare the two rates:
- Kenny: 12 free throws per minute
- Scott: 11 free throws per minute

**Conclusion:** Kenny made more free throws per minute than Scott.
