If a basketball player missed 41 free throws out of 100, what fraction and what percentage of free throws did the player make?
A basketball player made 80 out of 100 attempted free throws what percent free throws was made
59/100 = 59%
To find the fraction of free throws the player made, you subtract the number of missed free throws from the total number of free throws attempted.
Total free throws made = Total free throws attempted - Missed free throws
Total free throws made = 100 - 41
Total free throws made = 59
So, the player made 59 out of 100 free throws.
To find the fraction, you can express this ratio using the fraction format:
Fraction of free throws made = Total free throws made / Total free throws attempted
Fraction of free throws made = 59/100
Therefore, the player made 59/100 of the free throws.
To find the percentage, you can convert the fraction to a percentage by multiplying it by 100:
Percentage of free throws made = Fraction of free throws made x 100
Percentage of free throws made = (59/100) x 100
Percentage of free throws made = 59%
Therefore, the player made 59% of the free throws.
To find the fraction and percentage of free throws the player made, we need to determine the number of successful free throws.
The number of successful free throws can be calculated by subtracting the number of missed free throws (41) from the total number of free throws attempted (100):
Number of successful free throws = Total number of free throws attempted - Number of missed free throws
Number of successful free throws = 100 - 41
Number of successful free throws = 59
Fraction of successful free throws = Number of successful free throws / Total number of free throws attempted
Fraction of successful free throws = 59 / 100
Fraction of successful free throws = 59/100
To convert this fraction into a percentage, we multiply it by 100:
Percentage of successful free throws = Fraction of successful free throws * 100
Percentage of successful free throws = (59/100) * 100
Percentage of successful free throws = 59%
So, the basketball player made 59 out of 100 free throws, which is equivalent to a fraction of 59/100 and a percentage of 59%.
