Pedro : 80% Javier: 90%
Marcos: 75%

1. If during a month Pedro has taken 30 free throws, how many will he have hit?
Si durante un mes Pedro ha lanzado 30 tiros libres, ¿cuántos habrá acertado?

2. If Javier hits 4 free throws in a match, how many has he taken?
Si Javier acerta 4 tiros libres en un partido, ¿cuántos ha lanzado?

1. 24

2. 4.444... (or 4 rounded to the nearest whole number)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 80/100 = x/30

cross-multiply

100 × x = 100x

80 × 30 = 2400

divide

100x/100 = x

2400/100 = 24

answer

x = 24

2. 90/100 = 4/x

cross-multiply

90 × x = 90x

100 × 4 = 400

divide

90x/90 = x

400/90 = 4.444...

answer

x = 4.444...

the correct answer is the second option

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
