Question

If Cade shoots 318 free throw baskets in 4 hours, about how many can he shoot in 7 hours?

Answer 1

Answer:

556.5 baskets

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write a proportion to solve

318 baskets     x baskets

----------------- = ----------------

4 hours              7 hours

Using cross products

318* 7 = 4 *x

2226 = 4x

Divide each side by 4

2226/4 = 4x/4

556.5 baskets

Answer 2

Answer:

556.5 baskets

Step-by-step explanation:

Write a proportion to solve

$\frac{318}{4hours}$ = $\frac{x}{7 hours}$

Use the cross products

318 × 7 = 4 × $x$

2226 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4

$\frac{2226}{4x}$ = $\frac{4x}{4}$

556.5 baskets is your answer!
