Complete question:

During last year's basketball season, Jackson attempted

150 free throws of which he made

120. So far this season, he's attempted 24 and made 16. A player's free-throw percentage is defined to be the percent of free-throws made out of the number of free-throws attempted. Assuming calculations began with the start of last year's season, which of the following best approximates Jackson's overall free-throw percentage to date?

A. 67%

B. 73%

C. 78%

D. 80%

Answer:

B. 73%

Explanation:

In the question, we are told that:

A player's free-throw percentage is defined to be the percent of free-throws made out of the number of free-throws attempted

Mathematically

Percent (% ) Free throw = (Number if free throws made ÷ Number of free throws attempted)× 100

For Last year, Jackson attempted

150 free throws of which he made

120

Percent (% ) Free throw = (Number if free throws made ÷ Number of free throws attempted) × 100

Percent(%) Free throw = (120÷150) × 100

= 80%

This season, he's attempted 24 and made 16

Percent (% ) Free throw = (Number if free throws made ÷ Number of free throws attempted) × 100

Percent(%) Free throw = (16÷24) × 100

= 66.67%

Approximately = 67%

The best approximation for Jackson's overall free-throw percentage to date is

(Percent Free Throw for last season + Percent Free Throw for this season) ÷ 2

Percent Free Throw for last season

= 80%

Percent Free Throw for this season = 66.67%

Therefore, (80% + 66.67%) ÷ 2

= 146.67% ÷ 2

= 73.335%

Approximately = 73%

Therefore, Jackson's overall free-throw percentage to date is 73%

kozerog [31]

Answer:

The rock cycle describes how rocks change as a result of natural processes. The rock cycle forms new rocks using the crystallization, erosion and compaction processes. This makes the correct answer: D: all of the above. Igneous rocks for example are rocks formed from the crystallization( formation of rock crystals in cooling magma) of a liquid. Sedimentary rocks are formed by erosion. However, in order to form a sedimentary rock, the accumulated sediment must become compacted and cemented together.

ryzh [129]

Scientists infer evolutionary relationships by comparing the early development of different organisms by phylogeny.

In scientific terms, the evolutionary relationship and history of an organism or cluster of organisms is termed its phylogeny. It describes the relationships of associate organism, like from that organisms it's thought to own evolved, to that species it's most closely connected, so forth.

Scientists collect information that enables them to create evolutionary relationships between organisms. Almost like a detective work, scientists use proof to uncover the facts. Within the case of phylogeny, evolutionary investigations specialize in 2 styles of evidence which are morphologic and genetic.

In this question we are going to speak of point translations. Vectorially speaking, a translation between two points is defined by this expression:
