Nick played basketball against Mr. Casarella. He made 8 baskets for every 12 shots that he took. How many baskets would he make if he took 60 shots?
- A.
24 baskets
- B.
35 baskets
- C.
40 baskets
- D.

C. 40 basketsExplanation
If Nick made 8 baskets for every 12 shots, it means he has a shooting percentage of 8/12 or 2/3. To find out how many baskets he would make if he took 60 shots, we can set up a proportion: 8/12 = x/60. Cross-multiplying, we get 12x = 480, and dividing both sides by 12, we find that x = 40. Therefore, Nick would make 40 baskets if he took 60 shots.Rate this question:
