Answer 1

Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

3 Misses

Step-by-step explanation:

Eve misses 6 throws every 14 free throws therefore we can write:

$\frac{Missed}{Throws} = \frac{6}{14}$

If the number of new missed throws is x and she will be expected to miss at the same rate then:

$\frac{6}{14}=\frac{x}{7}$

Cross multiplication:

⇒ 42=14x

Division:

⇒ x=3

She will miss 3 throws in her next 7 free-throw attempts.
