Stephen curry plays for the golden gate warriors and touts a 90% free throw shooting record if he shot 12 free throws in a game approximately how many did he miss

1 answer

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:

  1. 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.

  2. Calculate the number of missed free throws:
    \( 12 - 11 = 1 \)

Therefore, if he shot 12 free throws, he approximately missed 1.
