Question

NO DETAILS BABY

Answer 1

3/4 = x/48   (x = the number of made free throws)

 

4x = 144   (by cross multiplication)

 

x = 36 made free throws

Answer 2

Use a proportion:

 

   (3/4) = (x/48)

 

   Cross Multiply

 

      4x = 144

 

        x = 36

 

OR find (3/4) of 48

 

         = .75 (48)

 

         =  36
