Answer:
Finn, Jeff and Kevin
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of attempts to baskets are
Finn = 16/12 = 4/3
Michael = 18/16 = 9/8
Jeff = 8/6 = 4/3
Tanner = 6/4 = 3/2
Kevin = 12/9 = 4/3
Tristan = 10/10 = 1
Therefore, Finn, Jeff and Kevin had the same ratio of attempts to baskets.

A proportion looks like this:
It means that the quantity a,b,c and d are in the same proportion: the ratio between a and b is the same ratio between c and d.
They are particularly useful in situation when you have an example given, and you want to extrapolate the relationship for another couple.
For example, you can think of the following problem: "Five apples cost 2 dollars. How much will 8 apples cost?"
