Answer:  She made 36 out of 48 throws.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Jenny made 3 out of every 4 free throws she took.

Let x be the number of made out of 48 throws.

Then by using direct variation, we have the following equation :-

$\dfrac{x}{48}=\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{3}{4}\times48\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=36$

Hence, she made 36 out of 48 throws.
