    150

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We know that Scott's ratio of making the basket is 9/12. All we need to do is find out how many baskets he'll make if he attempts 200 shots.

    So, 9/12 needs to become x/200. We don't know what x is yet, but there's a shortcut.

    9/12 can be simplified by dividing 3 on the top and bottom.

    9/12 : 3/3 = 3/4

    We can then see how many times 4 can go into 200.

    200/4 = 50

    So, we multiply 3/4 by 50 on both the top and bottom.

    3/4 * 50/50 = 150/200.

    So, if he attempts 200 shots then he'll make 150 of them.
