The ratio of successful free throws to missed free throws is 4:3. We can set up the proportion:
4/3 = x/36
Cross multiplying, we get:
4 * 36 = 3x
144 = 3x
Dividing both sides by 3, we find:
48 = x
Therefore, Eve made 48 successful free throws.
The correct answer is C.
4/3 = x/36
Cross multiplying, we get:
4 * 36 = 3x
144 = 3x
Dividing both sides by 3, we find:
48 = x
Therefore, Eve made 48 successful free throws.
The correct answer is C.
