Question

Martina is practicing her free-throw shots. So far, she has made 16 out of 20 shots. If she attempts 80 more shots and shoot with the same accuracy, how many more shots should she expect to make?

Answer 1

$\bf \begin{array}{ccllll} \textit{free throws}&\textit{made the net}\\ -----&-------\\ 20&16\\ 80&t \end{array}\implies \cfrac{20}{80}=\cfrac{16}{t}\implies t=\cfrac{80\cdot 16}{20}$
