Molly - 20/4
Nico - 42/6
Now, lets do cross multiplication.
20/4 = x/1 42/6 = x/1
4(x) = 20(1) 6(x) = 42(1)
4x=20 6x = 42
4x/4 = 20/4 6x/6 = 42/6
x=5 x=7
Therefore, Nico shot 2 more baskets per minute than Molly.
Answer:
Nico shoots 2 more basket per minute.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Molly shot 20 baskets in 4 minutes,
[tex]\text{Molly's shoots per minute}=\frac{20}{4}=5[/tex]
Nico shot 42 baskets in 6 minutes.
[tex]\text{Nico's shoots per minute}=\frac{42}{6}=7[/tex]
∵ 7 - 5 = 2
Hence, Nico shoots 2 more basket per minute.
