Eve plays basketball. She makes 4 free throws for every 3 free throws that she misses. If she missed 33 free throws at her last practice, how many free throws did she make?

We can make a ratio for the number of free throws she makes to the number she misses.

This ratio is 4:3.

To find out how many she made if she missed 33 we can set up a simple proportions.

Let x represent the # of free throws Eve made.

Since the ratio must stay the same:

4/3 should equal x/33.

3*11 = 33

so x = 4*11 = 44

This means Eve made 44 free throws.
