In a high school basketball game, a player on the home team makes two free throws. One student asks the student next to her what

he thinks the probability of hitting two free throws in a row is. The student replies, "The probability of him making a free throw is probably about .6, so hitting two free throws is probably about 1.2." Why can this immediately be dismissed as incorrect?
A.
The final number, 1.2, is a fraction, which can never represent a probability.
B.
The probability of making a free throw can never be .6.
C.
The probability of an event happening twice in a row can never be equal.
D.
The final number is greater than 1, which is not a valid probability.

Rapheal saw a square patio that was 12 feet long on each side. He wants to bulid a patio that will be 15 feet long on each side.
olasank [31]

Answer:

Answer key:

The change in the scale factor is <em>4/5.</em>

12 / 15

12 ÷ 3 = 4

15 ÷ 3 = 5

4/5

Answer key: The change of scale means that 1 inch represented 4 feet, but now 1 inch represents <em>5 feet.</em>

1 inch represents 4 feet which factors 12 feet.

4 cannot factor 15 feet.

5 can factor 15 feet.

1 inch would represent 5 feet then.

15 ÷ 5 = 3 inches
