For this case we have the following variables:
x: number of free throws that Tessa made
y: total number of free throws
We now write the relationship of free throws.
We have then:
[tex] \frac{x}{y} = \frac{27}{36} [/tex]
Simplifying the expression we have:
[tex] \frac{x}{y} = \frac{\frac{27}{3}}{\frac{36}{3}} = \frac{9}{12} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{x}{y} = \frac{\frac{9}{3}}{\frac{12}{3}} = \frac{3}{4} [/tex]
Answer:
The fraction of the free throws that she made is:
[tex] \frac{x}{y} = \frac{3}{4} [/tex]
The correct answer is:
3/4.
Explanation:
27 out of 36 is written as 27/36. To simplify this, we divide numerator and denominator by common factors. Both are divisible by 9:
(27÷9)/(36÷9) = 3/4
