If Stephen Curry has a free throw shooting percentage of 90% and he shot 12 free throws in a game, you can calculate the number of free throws he made and missed as follows:
-
Calculate the number of successful free throws:
\( 12 \times 0.90 = 10.8 \)
Since he can't make a fraction of a free throw, we round to the nearest whole number, which gives us 11 successful free throws. -
Calculate the number of missed free throws:
\( 12 - 11 = 1 \)
Therefore, if he shot 12 free throws, he approximately missed 1.
