Answer 1

1 basket is between 9 and 10 minutes .

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have , John kept track of how many baskets were made in a basketball game. After 4 minutes, 5 baskets were made.  We need to find How many baskets were made between 9 and 10 minutes . Let's find out:

In order to calculate baskets between 9 min and 10 min we will find baskets at 10 min and at at 9 min , will subtract than !

Baskets at 10 min :

At 4 min we have 5 baskets so , in 10 min

⇒ $(10)\frac{5}{4}$

⇒ $1.25(10)$

⇒ $12.5$

Baskets at 9 min :

At 4 min we have 5 baskets so , in 9 min

⇒ $(9)\frac{5}{4}$

⇒ $1.25(9)$

⇒ $11.25$

So , Baskets between 10 & 9 min is $12.5-11.25=1.25$ , which on rounding off gives 1 . Therefore , 1 basket is between 9 and 10 minutes .
