If Freya makes 4 of her 5 free throws in a basketball game, what is her free throw shooting percentage?

1 Answer

Jul 9, 2018

$80 %$ $80%$

Explanation:

We can construct a fraction in which the numerator is how many shots she makes, and the denominator is how many shots she took overall.

We now have the following fraction:

$\frac{4}{5}$ $4/5$

To convert this to a percentage, we want the denominator to be $100$ $100$ . Let's multiply this by $\frac{20}{20}$ $20/20$ to get

$\frac{80}{100}$ $80/100$ , which is equal to $80 %$ $80%$ .

Hope this helps!
