Larry can shoot 4 free throws in 3 minutes. Complete the ratio table to determine how many free throws he can make in 15 minutes.

Answer 1

Since Larry can shoot 4 free throws in 3 minutes, it means he can make 4/3 = 1.33 free throws in 1 minute.
To determine how many free throws he can make in 15 minutes, we can set up a ratio table:

1 minute: 1.33 free throws
15 minutes: x free throws

To find the value of x, we can use cross-multiplication:

1 minute * x free throws = 1.33 free throws * 15 minutes
x = (1.33 free throws * 15 minutes) / 1 minute

x = 19.95 free throws

Therefore, Larry can make approximately 20 free throws in 15 minutes.
