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.
