Answer:
Points scored in a basketball game vary directly with shots taken.
This means that this question can be solved
by proportions, using a rule of three.
How many would she have scored if she takes 60 shots?
Using a rule of three:
50 points - 40 shots
x points - 60 shots
Applying cross multiplication:
4x = 50 × 60
Divide from both sides
x = 50 × 1.25 = 75
Answer is 75
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is a easier explanation if you didn't understand clearly:
It asked for how many 60 shots would score.
You would look at the first time he scored which is 50 and took 40 shots. Divide them
50 ÷ 40 = 1.25 or 1.5
So now you know each point scores 1.25 or 1.5
Now you multiply 1.25 or 1.5 with how many shots to see how much was scored and in this case 60 shots.
60 × 1.25 or 60 × 1.5
& They both end up equaling just the same, 75.
Hope it made sense :)

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 12 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = time it takes to fill the pool if the inlet pipe and drain pipe are both open
1/6 = portion of pool filled per hour by the inlet pipe
1/12 = portion of pool emptied per hour by the drain
1/x = portion of pool filled per hour if the inlet pipe and drain are both open
Then, 1/6 - 1/12 = 1/x
Multiply by the LCD, 12x, to obtain
2x - x = 12
x = 12 hours
