To find the answer, we can use the table to determine the equivalent ratios.
From the table, we can see that the ratio of free throws to minutes is 7:1.
To find out how many free throws Nancy can make in 10 minutes, we need to find the equivalent ratio.
Since the ratio of free throws to minutes is 7:1, we can find the equivalent ratio by multiplying both numbers by 10.
7 x 10 = 70
So, Nancy can make 70 free throws in 10 minutes.
Therefore, the correct answer is 70.
wrong
I apologize for the mistake. Let's use the table to solve the problem.
Given that Nancy can make 7 free throws in 1 minute, we can find the equivalent ratio by dividing both numbers by 7.
7 ÷ 7 = 1
1 ÷ 7 = 1/7
So the ratio of free throws to minutes is 1:1/7.
To find out how many free throws Nancy can make in 10 minutes, we need to multiply the number of free throws (1) by 10.
1 x 10 = 10
Therefore, Nancy can make 10 free throws in 10 minutes.
The correct answer is 10.
nope not 10
Apologies for the confusion. Let's revisit the problem.
From the table, we can see that the ratio of free throws to minutes is 7:1.
To find out how many free throws Nancy can make in 10 minutes, we can use this ratio.
7 free throws : 1 minute
To find the number of free throws in 10 minutes, we need to multiply the number of free throws per minute by the number of minutes.
7 free throws per minute * 10 minutes = 70 free throws
Therefore, Nancy can make 70 free throws in 10 minutes.
The correct answer is 70.
ok wrong
I apologize for the mistake. Let's try solving the problem again.
From the table, we can see that the ratio of free throws to minutes is 7:1.
To find out how many free throws Nancy can make in 10 minutes, we can use this ratio.
7 free throws : 1 minute
To find the number of free throws in 10 minutes, we need to set up a proportion:
7/1 = x/10
Cross-multiplying, we have:
7 * 10 = 1 * x
70 = x
Therefore, Nancy can make 70 free throws in 10 minutes.
The correct answer is 70.
