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.

5 answers

To find the number of free throws Larry can make in 15 minutes, we set up a ratio using the given information:

3 minutes = 4 free throws

To find the ratio for 15 minutes, we need to multiply both the minutes and the free throws by the same factor that converts 3 minutes to 15 minutes.

Since 15 minutes is 5 times larger than 3 minutes, we multiply both sides of the ratio by 5:

3 minutes * 5 = 15 minutes
4 free throws * 5 = 20 free throws

So, Larry can make 20 free throws in 15 minutes.

The completed ratio table is shown below:

Time (m) Number of Free Throws
3 4
5 20
10 40
15 60
20 80
Apologies for the mistake. Let's approach the problem correctly.

From the given information, we know that Larry can shoot 4 free throws in 3 minutes.

To find the number of free throws he can make in 15 minutes, we need to determine the ratio of free throws to minutes and then multiply it by 15.

The ratio of free throws to minutes is:

4 free throws / 3 minutes

To find the ratio for 15 minutes, we can cross multiply:

4 free throws * 15 minutes = 3 minutes * X free throws

60 free throws = 3X

Divide both sides of the equation by 3:

20 free throws = X

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

The completed ratio table is shown below:

Time (m) Number of Free Throws
3 4
15 20
The answer is 20 free throws in 15 minutes.
Ok now what are the other 3
To complete the ratio table, we can continue applying the same ratio of free throws to minutes to find the number of free throws Larry can make in different time intervals.

Time (m) Number of Free Throws
3 4
15 20

To find the number of free throws in other time intervals, we can continue the pattern:

Time (m) Number of Free Throws
3 4
15 20
30 40
45 60
60 80

So, in 30 minutes, Larry can make 40 free throws. In 45 minutes, he can make 60 free throws. And in 60 minutes, he can make 80 free throws.
