Solve each problem. If you get stuck, consider using the double number lines. During a basketball practice, Mai attempted 40 fre
e throws and was successful on 25% of them. How many successful free throws did she make? A double number line with 7 evenly spaced tick marks. The top number line is labeled “free throws” and the first tick mark is labeled 0. The other tick marks are unlabeled. The bottom number line is not labeled and starting with the first tick mark 0, 25 percent, 50 percent, 75 percent, 100 percent, 125 percent, and 150 percent are labeled. Yesterday, Priya successfully made 12 free throws. Today, she made 150% as many. How many successful free throws did Priya make today?
