Chapter MPS, Problem 9.1MPS

(a)

To determine

To Find: The ratio of the number of career field goals made to career field goals attempted at the end of 2009-2010.

Answer to Problem 9.1MPS

  $2711:6069$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Total number of field goal made by player $=5422$

Total number of field goal attempted $=12138$

Formula Used:

No. of field goal made $÷$ No. of field goal attempted

Calculation:

Total number of field goal made by basketball player $=5422$

Total number of field goal attempted by basketball player $=12138$

Therefore,

Ratio of the number career field made to career field goals attempted at the end of 2009-2010

No. of field goal made $÷$ No. of field goal attempted

  $\begin{array}{l}=\frac{5422}{12138}\\ =\frac{2711}{6069}\\ \\ 2711:6069\end{array}$

Conclusion:

Thus, The ratio is $2711:6069$

(b)

To determine

To Find: The ratio of the number of career field goals made to career field goals attempted at the end of 2010-2011 season.

Answer to Problem 9.1MPS

  $\frac{m}{a}orm:a$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Total number of field goal made by player $=m$

Total number of field goal attempted $=a$

Formula Used:

No. of field goal made $÷$ No. of field goal attempted

Calculation:

Total number of field goal made by basketball player $=m$

Total number of field goal attempted by basketball player $=a$

Therefore,

Ratio of the number career field made to career field goals attempted at the end of 2010-2011

No. of field goal made $÷$ No. of field goal attempted

  $=\frac{m}{a}$

Conclusion:

Thus, The ratio is $m:a$
