Question

A basket ball player attempts 15 baskets in a game . He makes 9 of the attemps what is the ratio

Answer 1

Answer:

9:15 or 3:5

Step-by-step explanation:

A ratio can compare a part of a whole to a whole.

In this case, our whole is the total number of shots attempted: 15.

The basketball player successfully made 9 of the attempts. 9 is our other number in this ratio.

Put these values in a ration.

part:whole

9:15

Notice that 9 and 15 can be simplified by dividing both numbers by 3.

3:5

This is your simplified ratio.

Hope this helps!
