Answer:

143 free shots

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, James has a ratio of 2 missed shots to successful 5 free throws. So, it means that out of total 7 shots James misses 2 and hits the target 5 times. So the ratio is 5/7. If he maintain this ratio he will make (5 X 200)/7= 142.85, where he will shoot 200 free throws in this season. As it is 142.85, we will count it as 143 free shots because a player cannot shoot 142.85 throws. So, James will make 143 free throws this season.
